What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?

The set amp I have actually heard in recent years (at Capital Audiofest) that I mentioned early on here and liked a lot was the GLow Audio Amp 1. I also like the price and compact size. Build quality there would seem top notch as well, direct wiring, hand wrapped xformers, etc., according to their site.

They have a newer larger push/pull 15 watt model as well. On their site, they are advertising free dac and pair of either Def Audio, Triangle, or Klipsch speakers with purchase that amp. Or dfree dac but no speakers for the smaller Amp 1.

Tubegroover, Rebbi is going to have a long wait for me to sell the dynamo. I intend to have two full systems. The franks will stay in my listening room and the dynamo will serve in the bedroom system.

I absolutely agree though, that Rebbi is taking a chance by selling off his Manley without an A/B.

Thanks for clarifying Brownsfan, my comment about your selling off the Dynamo was meant tongue in cheek.

The OP never mentioned cost or that he might have difficulty financing a new amp, or that he would have to sell his Manley. That info came way late, after Tim Smith chimed in. The OP stated what his equipment is and asked, ”what's the best BARGAIN in SET's these days.” In seems to me that the OP got a lot of great responses to his question. I know I took a fair amount of time responding to the OPs actual question. The Line Magnetic 518i may be a great amp, but it is no ”bargain” by my standards. If we want to get cute about the term ”bargain” I suppose a statement such as, ”it means different things to different people depending on their financial means at any given time.” But seriously, in the context of this thread, the term bargain never meant the cost of a Line Magnetic 518i, or anything like that.
