I used an Aragon 4004 with my '565 for many years. That'd stretch your budget a bit, though. A 4004 used is likely to go for something like $500 plus shipping. A Mark II would be $100--$150 more.
What's a good power amp for Adcom 565 & Ohm C2
I just bought an Adcom GFP-565 preamp here and I have a pair of lovely Ohm C2 speakers. I'm missing a power amp. I've only got around $250-300 to spend right now. I've been thinking of an old Rotel RB-850 so that I can grab a second one down the line and bridge them as mono blocks. I'm also curious about the ASL Wave AV8 monoblocks with mods. The price is very right, but I'm not sure if this is the way to ease into tubes or if I should stick to solid state. The speakers haven't been allowed to reach their full potential with the old monster receiever I'm using. I've be warned that the ASL might be SET. I'm not sure how efficent the Ohms are. Any advice? Thanks!
