Tubed is preferred but will consider anything and everything. I know this is kinda vague but there are so many to consider. This one will not be a Dared SL2000A. :)

I would like to stay short of $750. It may be a fluid number if I'm dazzled but not too fluid. ;) Like I said, I'd consider almost anything. BTW, I pretty much know what's in the FM.

    I would say Cary from my experience but that's unfortunately over 750$.

    This might be a sleeper and worth looking into.

    IIRC AMC was started by some former NAD engineers so it's good stuff....
