Am between sysytems. Looking for sub $500 used amp for now; speakers need 60 watts SS power, choice is: Emotiva XPA2/ Quad 909 /Forte Class A/. Preamp is Grace 900 series preamp/dac. Listen to classical music mostly piano and Mahler-ish

New-ish design, $375 - and meets your specs.

I have no experience with it, as you might guess.

Spend less money and get a Gainclone.

There are plenty of LM3886 amps from China for under $200 new.

190 /ship is pretty much 200 and I'd still rather have the class A Forte real amp that weighs 50 pounds
