Please help me choose a MOSFET amp upto $1500

[humblebee]

I cannot find MOSFET amps that are affordable. The closest are Yamaha & Halo Integrated at $2500. Unfortunately I dont have that much budget. Demo is not possible and I can live with amps that dont have dacs. That should be around Rs 1.5L.
Amperage should be another limitation as I can only connect to 16Amp wall socket
Thanks

You can try emotiva amps. They are solid builds and value for money.

Yeah they are. But I dont think they have a MOSFET amp in their lineup. Let me check.

Parasound halo A23

it is under 1 lakh i guess

If I am not mistaken, Van Alstine's Synergy series are all MOSFET amps. Simiarly, Job 225 and Job Integrated are MOSFET amps as well. These are all in the $1500 ballpark price range. So probably a bit cheaper than Parasound's Halo series. Van Alstine Synergy 240 is only $1200 though.

Why fixated on mosfets ? From what I know, the implementation and maturity of overall design is the key to good sound from an amplifier.

Denon PMA1520AE. This line has been around for 25 years. Very underrated because it costs a reasonable 1L. MOSFET amps have their charms. Here is what Mr. Pass thinks of them.

I like their smooth sound.

Very much the compleAt newb to this amplifier thing.

Recently jumped headlong off a integrated into a pre-power type thing. I have less than a week with it, I have no comparison other than the int I owned, and I am not knowledgeable enough to write anything like a review. Therefore these two links

1. the "official" sbaf review

2. And another one https://superbestaudiofriends.org/i...iew-check-first-post.4730/page-16#post-161366

It is not Mosfet. But it is probably interesting enough.

have a look at the Atoll IN100SE ..

its the implementation. Whenever you want to buy an amp see who will specify the THD rating at 15KHz not at 1KHz. Any tom dick and harry amp will do good at 1KHz the one which does good at 15KHz is the good amp thats why you see nobody mentioning the spec at 15KHz. The reason is the distortion raises as frequency raises only very very few amps are capable to do that.
