If there's another company that produces the kind of amplifier I am inquiring about please mention them. I want to purche a 117 for my home. Between 400 and 900 dead key. Definitely don't want to use a mobile for my home station and want a low drive. I don't want too have to use another smaller amp to drive it. I don't run exports or any rigs that are higher than 5 watts. I could spend between $500 and $1000. I hope if you recommend something you own it or are very familiar with IT. It Must have hi low, medium would be nice, not nesessery. Pre amp not nesessery but, would like it to have one. Keeping audio clean is a must. Im of the school that say good in good out but I suspect some amps can make the nicest cleanest audio sound like your gurgling with razor blades, don't want one of those. been checking crossyourfingrtsbay and saw a few nice ones but scared of buying used. I may concider a used one but I've got the cake for a new one, used is not outta the question but really wanna go new. Thanks brother's
