Around £2k
Separated or integrated or just power amplifier
The budget can be stretched for something special
It does not need to be anything powerful, I am happy to have A class less than 20W.

I expect you'll get a lot of suggestions for amps at that sort of price. On the used integrated amp market, I'd be looking at Sugden, Lavardin, Leben and possibly two grand might just be enough for a yummy Brinkmann.

Hi Steff

I have a Krell KSA100 Mk2 that I am considering selling. 100 watts class A. Would take £1600 for it but collection only as it is heavy. Very heavy.

Yes, that's right. I tried Lavardin IS and it wasn't my cup of tea for the simple reason, it was too far away from my current amp.

I have got two pairs - Focal spectral 913 and Tannoy Chatsworth but I started to think reduce a number of speakers and upgrade it as well.

Tannoy Eaton caught my attention.

Thank you for your offer Martin but this one might be running too hot for me as one of ideas to get another amp is to reduce amount of heat which my GM70 amp generates during hot days.
Smaller class A might be better for me.

Possibly too expensive but I have a Perreaux Eloquence 250i 40th Anniversary with the ES9038 Pro DAC fitted (this is Perreaux's latest DAC which was developed for the Eloquence 255i amp with DSD support, not the original DAC for the 150/250 amps). Looking for around £3k (about £9k new)

I'm considering selling my New Audio Frontiers Performance 2a3 Integrated soon! it can be used as an integrated or power amp. It was about 10k new and I've recently revalved the lot: new PSVane 2a3 power valves and NOS 1950s RCA black plate 12ax7s from audiotubes.com. It sounds sensational, but I'm moving soon and want a solid state pre/power to replace it. I appreciate it's a bit over the 2k you mention, but I'd take about £2500 for it. PM if interested!
