    You might struggle at the price. It costs 500 more than that for parts alone in a mono build . Maybe try a standard build with smps as that can be built around the 2k budget?? My father in law has one now and it’s very close indeed.

    All I can say is that after some weeks and hours of playtime I couldn’t even listen to my crofts anymore . They sounded broken haha. Like I had a quilt over the speakers. The 686 is in another league. The crofts are now gone

    Ian Im surprised you have not grabbed David Coe's monos
    They are a bargain as stated this is parts cost alone!

    I doubt you will get cheaper or better...

    The alternative is to wait for one to come up on eBay, it might take a while as there aren't too many about but if money's tight it could be worth the wait.
