Amplifiers available in India

[square_wave]

I have been out of the audio scene for a little while now. Was trying to see the many interesting audio amplifiers (two channel only) currently available in India. I know the ones below. If people know any new additions please chime in. I have avoided some of the super expensive ones and also the mainstream ones for obvious reasons. If anyone has come across anything interesting, please contribute along with dealer details.

Accuphase (not sure if you omitted it for being main stream or super expensive)hyeah:

Sim audio (not sure if there is still any distributor for it)

I want to add a few words about Dared and Belles for those interested. Sorry if it's OT.

Dared - Good value amps. They are not expensive and sound rather good for the price. I was about to pick one just to have a long term taste of the brand. Unfortunately I would have exceeded the luggage allowance.

Belles - Poor value amps. Don't want to do names, but I have heard amps half and one fourth the price that sounded ridiculously similar.

All my personal opinion. YMMV.

Audio Research
Jaton
Electrocompaniet
Nagra (would this be super-expensive?)
Parasound (Mainstream?)
Jeff Rowland
Quad (mainstream?)
Airtight
Primare
Cadence
Lyrita
Rethm
Ayre

Just some names that popped up at the top of my mind...would be insterested to see how many get sorted out if I limit the upper bracket to Rs.2L...

Does DIY interests you? If yes, take a serious look at this.

Dared - Good value amps. They are not expensive and sound rather good for the price.

Having used their 6550 tube based PP Integrated and currently owning a 645 tube based 35 WPC SET Class A Integrated, can't agree more.

No Ayre too - In India i.e.

@ Rs. 200/- K the option list will get really narrow.

I think Conard Johnson is available with Prithvi @ Absolute Phase in Bangalore.

-John.

 

[square_wave]

How many of you have listened to Belcanto amps ?

 

[himadri]

I thought Audire were dealing in Ayre...

DNM Audio & Norge Audio, from the Bajaj brothers, Mumbai?! perhaps mainstream?!

 

[Gfreeman]

And Peachtree... KEI seems to be their distributor in India. The brand is not listed on the KEI website but the Peachtree website lists KEI as the distributor here.

Technoguru seems to sell them but only integrated on their website for 84k.
