I'll be using this amp with a DT770/80. Ive been looking around for some under-$100 (new/used) amps, and I think its between these:

Go-vibe v6
PA2v2
Mini^3 (Are these under 100? I heard it can be DIY for under 100, which i can do, but if i can buy one for under 100, id rather do that).

are there any i don't know about that are worth putting on this list? Which amp has the best bang-for-buck?

If you can DIY the Mini^3, go for it

It's one of the best sub-200$ amps , not sub-100$

It costs round 88$ for all the kit... Glass Jar Audio sells it.

Yes, Skylab and I had a strong disagreement on the C&C (and different methods and equipment to test).

But at least our disagreement was completely civil, and didn't result in any name-calling or weird accusations

Wait, we're allowed to name-call and make weird accusations?

Just kidding. Civil conversations are a sometimes rarity around these parts. And although I preferred my method with the C&C, Skylab used Beyers like the OP, so perhaps his results should be more focused on with respect to this thread.

Oh, I think i'll go for the Mini^3 kit from glass jar audio. It's cheaper, and will probably give me more satisfaction than the C&C since I'm building it myself (we all know that expensive audio equipment has trouble satisfying). But one more question, which one is better (regardless of price)? Mini^3 or BOX+?

A lot of reviews I've read have rated the Mini³ and MiniBox-E+ as a tie. Some prefer one slightly over the other. I'm personally going to go with the MiniBox-E+ because of it's extra features like bass boost (which is important to me personally), Li-ion battery, and awesome SNR (110db, no hiss).
