Nanoha Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've been looking around for the best speaker amp under $200. The options I've considered (Teac A1D, Cambridge Audio A5, Panasonic A-35R and Denon PMA-255) are: - Out of stock and nowhere to be found anymore for the Teac - Out of stock and UK available only for the Cambridge Audio, and Denon - Nowhere to be found anymore in the U.S. other than from pick-up in Montana for the Panasonic I keep hearing things about NAD. Are there NAD products that are available in my pricerange? The only one that is available online in the United States I believe is the Behringer A-500: http://www.audiolines.com/product.php?productid=12906&cat=0&page=1 Anyone got any ideas or could help me out?

TheSloth Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 What about a Super T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 My suggestion would be to find the local hifi shop, and go in and talk to them. They frequently will have tradeins, or forsale boards, and will probably have recommendations. The shops I used to hang out in understood that young poor audiophiles become less young and less poor as time goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'll sell you my Teac A1D -- hardly used. If you don't like that idea, I highly recommend going vintage. Behringer is probably fine -- but they're famous for stealing designs, and then implementing them without the R&D budget, so I stay away from them. At US$200, I highly recommend going used.

hungrych Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Gainclone or a class d amp of some sort. TNT-Audio did a big comparison of tripath amps awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
