integrated amp in the 70k range

[nandac]

what are the options for that price range in india?

any idea who sells jolida in india? how much would the tube hybrid 1501 cost here in india?

appreciate any insights.

what speakers are you going to be pairing with your amp? Are you fixed on a tube hybrid.

For 70K, there are many excellent solid state contenders - Exposure 2010S2, Arcam A28, Roksan Kandy K2, Rotel 1520...

i am looking at both solid state and tube hybrids. because i plan to have one of each - so either one would be a good start.

current speakers i have are sonus faber concerto and concertino.

it would be very helpful if you can list the dealer for the product and the approximate price for each (if you know). thanks.

Distributors:
Exposure (Audio Dynamics, Banglore)
Arcam (XPro Global, Faridabad)
Roksan (Cinerama, banglore)
Rotel (Audio Vision India, Mumbai)
Call them to get the dealers in your area. I only know Exposure 2010S2 MRP is 70K when I checked last. In my opinion that is the best buy amongst all these choices.

From whatever I have heard, Marantz PM15S2 is the best.
Never heard anything above 1L though.

Cyrus?

I suppose my ten-year-old would be in that price bracket if I bought it today.

The Arcam is worth pursuing. I have the Jolida 1501RC and the dealer for it in India is Cadence Pune. Also take a look at Trigon Energy integrated (dealer is "The listening room" Bangalore), this may be around a lakh or so. There was also an Yamaha AS2000 for sale here, a very good amp. I have heard Anthem also has dealer in India, they also have a reputation for being good and VFM. I would suggest going used since amplifiers are a relatively safe buy.

Or if you can do a little bit of DIY then go for Hypex NCore units with their SMPS.

I see a very good pre-power (tube) from subhob in for sale section. Not sure how much power you are looking at. But you can check it.

I tried Jolida and Vincent, both hybrid integrated
I like Vincent better over Jolida

my experience on above is limited to Showroom audition not home
this was during my pre-power combo search. Finally I settle with Vincent pre tube, still in power search
