Easily, the biggest surprise in my Covid Buy Every Piece Of HiFi You See phase was the Sound Artist SA200ia.....I paid under $500 for it and when I got it I could believe how heavy it was and how well made. I bought it to be used on my test bench because it was cheap and had a number of great reviews. It ended up being used in my main system for months driving LS50 Metas and Magnepan MMGs (now Magnepan LRS)....It is a fantastic sounding amplifier! Loads of power and a great remote control (remote control is a must have at my age!). Recently I saw it advertised on Amazon for $399!......Not sure what another thousand dollars is going to buy you....Your next stop is the Buchardt i150 for $2500 (on sale right now for $2300).......Talk about a full featured, amazing amplifier. I bought one last week and it showed up a few days ago......My Lord! Read my "first Impressions" on my web site... www.rvbprecision.com Good Luck, let us know what you decide....
