I was wondering what you guys would use to power a stax SR-5. Assuming budget is up to 200 dollars, but would like to stay at 150 or less. I have the SRD-6/SB

A fairly powerful tube amp would probably work best, but that involves finding such a device. Alternatively, I've seen some nice class D amps offloaded for fairly cheap (eg, some of Panasonic's XR family). |

Are you trying to get the black SR-5? They've been getting more expensive recently, for some reason... |
