I imagine the 'old' amp may be too expensive for the guy I answered in another forum (see link) but thought I'd mention it. He's looking for a good ~$600 amp to 'tame' his speakers a bit, my first thought (SS) would be a Marantz integrated, but turning him on to tubes would be a good thing too.Please forgive me if the price is way low, I have no idea what used PL amps are going for (or even new ones).
BTW, also, CONGRATULATIONS and happy listening with the new amp! :D
PS: Whoops, I think ~$600 may be way low for this amp, sorry! OH well. I suggested a used ProLogue One to him, seems more in his intended price range.

If you can convince him that coughing up another $600 would be an investment in good sound, then have him check out my listing on AA trader.
I don't want to plug my own ad here, I will just say Yes, I'm selling and thanks!
Well, he hasn't "responded" to my postings about a Cayin TA-30 and the Prologue One, but if he does and sounds open to investing a bit more (which would likely be worth it) I'll send him your way!His original post mentioned a NAD BEE integrated and a budget of $600 to power some Klipsch RB 61 II bookshelf speakers ... ah hell, here's a link, hope it's OK to mention other forums in this one (as I did in that one).
Seems to me that the PrimaLuna (One or Two or whatever) would possibly be a very good match to 'tame' the RB 61s a little and still be plenty of power, AND be possibly better sounding than other choices ... plus be more user friendly than the Cayin for first-time tube amp users.

Yeah, read the link. Doesn't seem he will stray from his budget. He might be expecting way more performance than what $600 will buy?
I don't really know, but think he's looking for a good match with his present speakers for $600. I have no idea if the NAD will be a match, I haven't heard NAD equipment nor read any reviews.
I do think he needs a 'mellower' sounding amp, so thought of the Marantz integrated (which may be somewhat mellow? but maybe not enough) and tubes.
I would venture that a ProLogue One may fit the bill, in sonics and maybe price, but wouldn't have any tone controls for him to play with.
I made my suggestions (to him) and can only wish him the best of luck ...
