What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?


I plan on spending no more than $6k for power amp (tube or SS), but would like to hear from others what amp they’d get. I’ve done plenty of research, but honestly, I’m burn’t out and now would like to hear from others.

mc452 here.  So far a fantastic amp!  Also c52 pre.  The solid state preamp made all the difference imo!  Great punch with great detail!   
For less than that I can sell you my Line Magnetic 219ia. Mint condition, gorgeous sound. Magnificent amplifier, just not what fits me best, it's a shame...
OP….

Congrats on the 501s!!!

Although my ‘take’ on them and your own differs somewhat, I read you are well pleased. That’s great.
I honestly felt they were the more ttransparent of the two listening to them on Mac Speakers. More lively. A tick less colorful than the Big 602 which was IMHO a very good amp.. therefore, didn’t think on 802s it was the best possible fit.

Glad it turned out otherwise in your outfit.

Listen long and prosper.
