What 2ch amp for around $500?

I would like it to be over 100w @ 4ohms and mid to high quality. It will be pushing a pair of either Diamond Audio 600 or Focal 165s. More power the better. Anyone have a used 2ch? Let me help you upgrade! Sell me your used high quality amp and you can get that new Audison you've been eyeing!

I have a Brand New Diamond Audio D7152 with 1 year warranty for sale. I can sell you for 245 + shipping. these would be perfect for S600 hex series

Don't tell me things like that Pearl05G! How do Diamond Audio amps stack up in terms of quality?

No need to spend $500. I just bought a new Diamond Audio D5 600.2 for less than $200 shipped off of Ebay. 150x2 @ 4 Ohms. The guy has one more left. Here's the http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5798275891&ru=http://search.ebay.com:80/5798275891_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQfviZ1

HTN or AVJunkie. How do the two Diamond Audios mentioned compare to each other? Specs look pretty similar. I'm assuming the D7152 is an older model from what I can find out about it. Appreciate your input.

Not really sure. The D5 is last years model. That's why you can find it cheaper now. I just found it on Ebay and thought that I'd pass along a good deal. I'm sure that you'd be happy with either amp.

Not a problem Geeman49

The D5 is the lower line of Diamond Audio, which retails around $529. D7 is the top of the line which retails around 1200 $. They are both last years model,,,

I was hoping you'd chime in earlier. I got the fever, had a PayPal balance and purchased. The only thing I could find was a press release from like 2001 so I assumed (wrongly) it was an even older model. Either should drive the speaks nicely and less than $200 shipped was in line with the budget allocated. That's a great price for your amp. Had I known you would have had a sale.

Any line driver advice?
