$1,500 Amp budget - Best options?

New Music Recommendations 2012
Ben Howard __ Every KingdomA performance on the order of Van Morrison's Moondance. A landmark pop-folk album. Outstanding lyrics, original and stirring music, soulful performance. An artist to be reckoned with. Don't miss this one.Neal
