above wanted.in and around the five hundred mark.cheers.

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.

thanks for the offer but yes,not what i had in mind.cheers.

Might be tempted to let my Emotiva XPA-2 go at around that price if you're interested?

Was using it to drive a pair of B&W 803Ns but now a bit surplus to requirements. (using an XPA-3 & a new a/v processor for additional channels).

To help you and the rest... what do you have in mind? What speakers are you using?

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.

Will you consider rack mounted Bryston power amp 2x120W Ohm









Its in mint condition. If yes please let me know.

lovely amp and great specs but i would imagine it exceeds my budget by a long shot.how much were you looking for it.
