$135.00
from ebay Summary:
The Sonance Sonamp 260 is a very capable amplifier. The 260 provides 100w per channel into 4 ohms. I have used 2 x260 to bi-amp Martin Logan electrostatics (notoriously difficult to drive) without any problems and I have also used the 260 to drive wo32 subwoofers.
The 260's provide a wide soundstage with firm control over music. Imaging is excellent and the overall sound can be characterized as neutral. The 260 can be used as the main amp in a 2 channel system or for upgrading an existing surround sound receiver.
The 260 is never going to compete with a Krell or Classe amp but will make a significant improvement over the amplifier in a surround sound receiver
The Sonamp 260 has always been very reliable. I have 5 260's currently and have never had any problems
Strengths:
Solidly built with audio circuits isolated from power supply circuits
Substantial toroidal transformer (A 260 weighs about 20lbs)
Stable down to 2.7 ohms
100w per channel into 4 ohms
Very reasonably priced on the used markert.
Weaknesses:
I have been very pleased with the performance of the 260's I own so I am struggling to find some obvious weaknesses.
A lack of brand awareness would be the only weakness I can come up with.
