What is the budget amp that is getting good reviews?
Follow Ups:
The Emotiva XPA-1L, which is a monbloc, with switchable 'high bias' class 'a' power to about 35watts. I think it lists for about 600$ a copy.
The amp weighs 35lb which is BARE MINIMUM for such output (250@8 and 2x into 4)
I was considering a QUAD of these for my panels before I snapped out of it and realized I'd need another several hundred dollars in ELECTRICIAN to install another dedicated circuit for a pair of 'em. And when I read it had an 18ga power cord? Add another 100+MINIMUM for some DIY or maybe MonoPrice (don't know how much those reallly are)
But the amp DOES get reasonable reviews from ALL users. There were some problems at initial release which were promptly addressed and its been smooth sailing ever since. If the amp will properly drive a highly reactive load, I'd see NO reason not to try it with even a pair of fairly demanding B&W or some Thiels. Or maybe even some 'Stats?
Too much is never enough
to look at their gear and want to try it. Good company, nice looking, great watts per dollar. My advice is buy an established brand used like a CJ or its little brother for a little less McCormack.
