Don't think there are much, fitting in the criterias i mentionedI hope 2 lakh buget you can have lot of options.
Well you haven't looked hard enough my original post i guess Its hard to overlook these mainstream brands which you have named..U havent looked hard enough. Creek roksan Rega rotel arcam are all in the region of 1.5-1.8 lacs mrp.
I know the naim sound well, mid-range with bite and attack bit forwarded, prat, in fact i have an amp in similar vain, the Exposure 2010s2 which i feel it's better than the naim 5i.. But I'm looking for something different now..Try a naim, you won't be disappointed, dont go with their power ratings, it doesn't matter
I'll check about itOr if power is really important, you can also get an audiogd master 10, it should be one hell of an amplifier.
Parasound should have a class A amp in that price range (used to own one a couple of decades ago) - really high quality stuff, and drove my Snell C/Vs perfectly.
If I switch to solid state, that would be the one I get. John Curl knows amps.
Hi anurag...
There is a British company called nord acoustics.

They make some great , well acclaimed class D poweramps, with class A buffers and switchable OP amps that change the presentation quiet a bit. They are also reviewed favorably. You can check out the above link, if you are not averse to importing them and all the associated issues.
If you haven't noticed there's a good option owned by a FM near to your place.
