Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced

Hello everyone,


When I think of Power Amps (or integrated amps) that play / sound way beyond their price-point and can be non-household names, I think of companies like:


  1. Belles (Power Modules)
  2. McCormack
  3. Coda


Can you guys please suggest other Power Amps / Companies that are also somewhat unknown or of great value?


Your suggestions would really help me and others.  Thanks!


Matt

Wells Audio-relatively inexpensive and top notch sound. Most musical realistic sound I've heard.

I'm very pleased with my Magnus MA-200,  all Class A.   I have no idea why it doesn't get more notice.  I'm using it more than my Class A tube amp.

My Hafler 9180 has served me well for over 20 years. My Dan D'Agostino designed Point Three satellite/sub system and Thiel CS2's showcase it's qualities.

Odyssey audio. Grabs the speaker and shakes the most out of it.
The only one I will buy from now on.
