wtd: power amp or mono-blocks

[macvisual]

On the search for either a stereo power amplifier or mono-block power-amps, prefer solid state but don't mind being offered valves etc. Anything older would be great, something like; John Shearne - Nad - Michell Alecto's - Luxman. I'm open to offers.....!! Something quite low powered would probably NOT suit my 88db efficient speakers. Amplifier condition not that important, but must be fully working.
Budget of around £450 ish, possibly more for something tasty/iconic. I'm in no rush to buy, must be able to post, or even better meet-up within 50 miles of Central Scotland (Stirling) would suit better!

Presently using;
A&R Arcam Alpha integrated amplifier - Audioplan Kontrast MkII floor standing speakers - 88db efficient, Acoustic Signature Challenger TT/SME V tonearm/Len Gregory MM3 moving iron cart/Kinshaw perception MM/MC phono-stage - Promitheus Audio TVC passive pre-amp
I enjoy my music with a wide soundstage with detailed highs with dynamics and a tad punchy.

So please explore your lofts and blow the dust off any power-amp/s you may have lying doing nothing - thank you.

Thanks Paul. What model are the Rotel power amps please? A pre-amp is not required thanks. I'm soon to be borrowing a Rotel Michi RHB-10 power-amp from a hi-fi friend in the near future on loan to see if it gels with my system.

Cheers;

I lusted after that one for a long time in the 90s. The matching pre was passive IIRC. Let us know what you think of it.

Hi Peter
RB850,sorry about the late reply,13hr nightshifts suck!!

I have an AMC 2100 power amp spare.

100wpc and with very serious current delivery (32 amps iirc).

It looks like a budget NAD. It sounds like a Krell. If you want warm & cosy, look elsewhere.

£175 plus delivery. And it will take me a week or so to get hold of it!

The 1st review here pretty much nails it - http://www.audioreview.com/cat/ampli...5_1583crx.aspx

Hi Peter,
I have a pair of Graham Slee Proprius monoblocks that might suit you. Rated at 25w, I use them with a pair of Neat Motice SX2, 86db. They drive them easily to high levels in my 22 X 14ft room. New they are nearly £1300 a pair but I can do them for £700.

Regards, Ian
