Can anyone suggest a good 2-channel amp for $1500

Conquered home theater, but want to set up a decent semi-reference 2 channel system. I'm welcoming suggestions for a decent 2-channel amp putting out around 100WPC RMS that would go for ~$1500 US or less (preferrably less). I am considering tube amps, but want to know what those advantages are over a solid state amp.

Thanks...

Hi,

I can enthusiastically recommend a used DK Design VS-1 Mk II integrated amp. Combines power and tubes within a solid state design.

Contact me if you'd like to know more.

Used Bryston 4B-ST's sell for around $1250-1300, and if your budget could stretch to around $1800, you could get a used Bryston 4B-SST. Both are great amps.

I'd look into Odyssey Audio.

You should post the speakers you are going to use with the amp as they might have a synergy with a particular SS amp.
