Butler Audio 5150!! After years with a solid performing Rotel RMB-1095 I too wanted something warmer and purchased this 5 channel tube hybrid amp. Has been a major upgrade to my system. A bit over your price range, but worth every penny in my opinion.
WARM 5 channel amp - suggestions?
With a budget of $2500 ish (could go more, or happy to save less) but nothing outrageous either direction - if you needed a 5 channel amp what would be your suggestions for an amp. Could be new (based on street prices) or used (I'm open to it if in solid shape).
I DO believe there are sonic differences in amps as I've done enough a/b testing DB matched etc. I don't think differences are great, but I do believe differences exist. I don't need a ton of power (call it 100-150 wpc) and I'm good, but more certainly can't hurt.
The other thing, I'm not real big on fan cooled amps.
Thanks.
