I am looking for new or used, at least 100w 8ohm per channel, no more than 200w per channel. I am using a tube pre-amp, based on the 12au7 and presently using new oskar heil speakers. My musical tastes run to jazz and classical. Let the opinions fly.
I'm very satisfied with a BAT VK200 matched to my tube amp, but it is around $500 over your budget. An amp I wouldn't mind having no matter the budget is the McCormack DNA1. You should be able to snag one for well under $1000. Good luck!
I chose the Stratos over the HCA-2 on my system, and love the Stratos alot. I heard the Aragon on some totems, and it also sounded very good. I'm now running the Stratos dual mono with a N.E.W 12AU7 preamp using Mullard tubes, and it sounds really nice. Warm and engaging. Lots of fun.
