In Reply to: Are there REALLY any really good solid state amps under a grand? posted by Isaak J. Garvey on August 29, 2016 at 16:02:58:
Because sometimes there are. I bought a used Cambridge Audio Azure 840a (V1) from well under a grand to try with a pair of Martin Logan Aeon I's. I didn't like the combo at first, but for some reason, after 2 weeks of a few hours play per day, the Cambridge 840a came to life and made the Aeon's sound beautifully open and airy in a way my (then) existing Plinius 9200 couldn't hold a candle to. The 840a had the Plinius cornered in just about every element of handling the ML load and controlling the delivery. I was surprised and delighted. I still have the 840a. It's not in my current system (Tannoy Autographs and Naim Nait XS is pure magic), but I am loath to part with it.
