    Curious - how did you land on '200' for a number?

    Cheers,

    Fair 'nuff

    There's a bitchin' Aragon in the flea mkt for $450....

    Outside of that, I'd certainly look for Carver, AMC, Rotel, Audiosource, Marantz etc etc....

    ARAGON! That was the one I couldn't remember yesterday. When I was shopping for my amp, it was between the Aragon, Parasound, and Adcom. I chose the Parasound.

    I had the same criteria as you, looking for about 200 watts/rms, under a grand.
