Certainly would leave funds to improve on source. Hopefully going to get a couple of amps in to listen to over next few days, only safe bet without a demo is Plinius by all accounts.

the leema is a lovely amp , he might take an offer as its a mark 1 . there is so much choice . the supernait seem very highly regarded

You're not wrong there Phil, driving myself a bit mad looking for the elusive s/h gem. As I have no listening experience of many of the amps it seems naive to just buy and try, could waste a lot of time and more importantly money. I know exactly what I am looking for; a step up from the Quad 909 to something that has a pacier grip on bass, with a less rolled off top end.
Best options out there in budget so far seem to be:
Plinius 9200
Leema Tucana
Densen DM10
Naim Supernait 2/superuniti
Karan KAS 180 power amp
Gamut D100 power amp
Separate pre/power appeals to me, as I always seem to like systems with valves in the pre.
I don't have the confidence or knowledge to take a punt on some of the older Krell's and the like on eBay.
yes agree with you , i prefer to buy from forum members rather than ebay . there are some beautiful deals around . just be patient and something will soon turn up . shame you can`t get the modright anniversary pre amp that jack has at bd audio . i had it on demo and its lovely but i fear it would not leave enough for a power amp

I keep drooling over that!
There is a very nice looking Krell FPB200 in the Wigwam classifieds for £1750
