Beta22.

 

A single Beta22 board is about $100.

So upgrading to a 3ch would only cost 100$ more? What about upgrading to a 4ch balanced? or is that not possible

A single board costs approximately $100 in parts, maybe $120 if you opt for very high-end parts (not ridiculous $20/resistor of course).

 

The transformer needs to be spec'd to handle the extra power requirements.

 

Upgrading to 4-channel will require casework as you'll need balanced input/output as well as replacing the attenuator, so while "possible", generally not easy.

Depends on what you include in price.  Bare parts for 2-channel, single Sigma22 and a transformer will be around $350.  That does not include a pot, input/output jacks, wiring or case.

I hear you're great at making them, what's the wait time and charge value that you charge for a 2ch and a 3ch including everything

Get it if you can, the Beta 22 is imo the best amp for the LCD 2s under $1000, with the Schiit Lyr being the only other amp coming close to me

You can easily stretch that price range to $2000 or even more. Hard to find a SS amp that offers the same performance as that of the B22.
