power amp wanted.
above wanted.in and around the five hundred mark.cheers.
Re: power amp wanted.
Not sure what you had in mind but I have one of these I might let go of - MC2 Audio MC650
It will literally drive anything as you would expect from the specs. Not the prettiest amp for your hifi rack, but in good condition and was serviced about 2 years ago.
I would be looking for €600.
PM me if interested.

Re: power amp wanted.
i have a primare i20(70 watts) and also a couple of dacs(marantz hd dac1 and audiolab mdac)that can power a power amp straight.at the moment i have computer to marantz to primare to audio smile kensai speakers which are quite inefficient(93db).so i was looking for a power amp basically to play around with powered straight from the dacs or use the primare s a pre amp.
so hopefully a power amp over 70 watts,or see what people have.cheers.
