Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for a 2 channel amp with 200-250 wpc for less than $800. I know I will be looking at used amps for this price range. The amp will run a pair of B&W CM9s.
Thanks

Well maybe you could suggest a couple of the models you've had experience with then? For instance, I had the XPA-3 and would not recommend it.
I've had a couple Adcom GFA 535's. My friend had a 555. We compared them and could hear no difference in our systems. Both sounded great. A lot of people say the 535 was the best sounding Adcom amp made. Seems like much more power than the specs suggest. What are you powering?Thanks for the recommendations guys.
Shivaji, do you have experience with Rotel RB-1080? This is one of the ones I was looking at was wondering how they sound.
Other amps I am seeing in my price range are the Parasound 2250, Adcom GFA 555/5500 and B&K 200.0. I saw a Bryston 4b sell for $700 on ebay which probably would have been nice, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on something that is probably around 30 years old. What are your thoughts on these amps?
Hi JJ. To directly answer your question, a pair of Emotiva XPA-100's would probably do the trick.Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for a 2 channel amp with 200-250 wpc for less than $800. I know I will be looking at used amps for this price range. The amp will run a pair of B&W CM9s.

Below clipping, they sound the same. Go see your local used dealer. They'll have items that fit your budget.Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for a 2 channel amp with 200-250 wpc for less than $800. I know I will be looking at used amps for this price range. The amp will run a pair of B&W CM9s.
