alpha9/a80

With advice from this forum I have been keeping an eye out for an alpha 9 amp on ebay and then I spotted a a80 amp for a fair price. I have now found out the a80 seems to be on offer at around £499 new. Any thoughts please, stick to the alpha 9, how much should I expect to pay - or go for either e bay offer or a new a80.

Thanks

Re: alpha9/a80

I haven't listened to either, but have heard lots of praise for the Alpha 9 and not too much about the A80. Alpha 9 used to gop one ebay for around £200 although I havent checked recently.

There is a good deal on a FMJ A22 in the classifieds!

Right then, I'll take your advice and stick with the alpha 9 unless I can increase my budget and go for a FMJ A22.

Cheers

I have an Alpha 9 and a 9P Power Amp combo that I am thinking of selling...
