Guys, I just happened to read the AVMAX Sep issue and it was a coincidence that I am in the market for a Budget Stereo amp as well. This issue of AVMAX was completely catering Budget stuff. I see good reviews of Cambridge audio Topaz AM5. Also, a great new amp from Norge - Standard series I for 17K. Looks absolutely good. Other recommendations I saw:

Norge 2030 - Rs. 6000 (I didn't see 2060 in the Mag, which has more Output watts)
Norge 1515 - Rs. 4000
Pace 2045 - Rs. 7000
DNM 499 - Rs 4950
Astonia SC300 - Rs. 3500
Norge 1000 Gold - Rs. 12000
Norge 4242 - Rs. 7700
Norge Reference 2000 - Rs. 14000

1. Are these correct prices ? I see Techguru.in selling this at a premium though AVMAX seems to be quoting less.
2. Any option for buying this for folks in Bangalore ? Most of them seems Mumbai based.
3. Budget upto 10K
 
For Norge - Vector Systems - Brigade Road. You can demo there.
You can also buy directly from Mr. Bajaj in mumbai. E-transfer and he shall courier you the stuff.
 
Norge amp has more power than AM5.AM5 is good amp for the price and small room set up.Its soundstage is open.Norge 2060 is very heavy and pumps more power.

Before you decide the amplifier, please tell us what is your speaker & sensitivity/efficiency of the speaker.... Atleast we can take the best pick for you....
 
Thanks to all guys. I emailed and ordered Norge 2060 from Mr. Bajaj. Hopefully I will get it in a week. Excited and fingers crossed.
 
Norge 2060 is Rs 9750 + 750 for shipping. About 10K which is the same quoted by lot of folks here. Need to get the 3.5mm to RCA cable for connecting iPod/Mac. Thinking of getting it Reliance digital.
 
Folks, I have purchased the Norge 2060 and it arrived yesterday. I connected it to my Denon Book shelf and it sounds great ! Playing songs through my Mac with iTunes. I have to try connecting an old DVD player and play a CD. Thanks for all your support guys, I think I got the right product for myself.
