Hi,
I'm looking for affordable Class A amplifiers with output power of 100W or more. I'm considering options around 250 GBP to 300 USD. If those prices aren't suitable, what's the cheapest they can be? Thanks as always.

The example provided illustrates a situation where one class A amplifier is costly, and even the amplifier in the link is also class A up to 100 watts, which moves it into the class A/B range. Seeking a used class A amplifier priced around $300 is possible, but you need to be aware of what you're getting and find a seller who isn't overly concerned or knowledgeable about the market. I'm not sure if such listings exist online, but checking old Audio magazine buyer groups from the 90s might help. Those could be useful references. The October issue was likely the best source for buyer guides. I actually own most of them because they contain valuable information.
