CNET picks the BasX A-100 Amp as one of their best Amplifiers!
The BasX A-100 stereo integrated amp is built like no other amp I've ever seen for its price of $229 (£299 or about AU$520).
It delivers 50 watts per channel for 8-ohm speakers, and 80 watts per channel for 4-ohm speakers. Let's stop right there. The fact that the BasX A-100 even has a 4-ohm rating is noteworthy; few AV receivers selling for three or four times the BasX A-100's modest price can happily drive low-impedance speakers. That says a lot about the BasX A-100's build quality.

These surprised me in that the sound that I expected to be full on home theater was actually a great option for a budget 2 channel set up as well. These had a very neutral sound that does great with a lot of music.
