For what amplifier should I look for if I need to deliver max 115W in 4 ohms, and to cost less than $525?

Thank you

Can you put this a little more in perspective for us?

Does it need to be a straight power amp?  Integrated?  Why a 4ohm load?  Tube, analog, or digital matter to you?

I am lloking for a Power Amp. Because 4 ohms are my speakers (89db, 103SPL). I prefer tube, but SS is fine. I don't listen to much digital stuff - my components are a FM- tuner and a turntable.

You can get a Rotel or Parasound off of audigon with 200 wpc for that much.

i doubt you will find a tube amp w/that much power for that price, even used.  likely somewhere around 40-60w.  but, this may be all ya need, unless yure in a really big room.  

for s/s amplification, up yer budget a tad & get this: electrocompaniet aw75dmb - it's a fantastic amp, imo.  of course, i am biased, as i have two of 'em...    it will put out ~140w into 4 ohms, but more important, imo, is that it's stable w/loads <0.5 ohms, & will put out >60a current.   not a tube amp, but one of a small handful of amps that tube-guys still like - it's wery smooth.  also note the two pairs of rca inputs - it can actually be run balanced, w/custom configured ic's, if you want.  you need to fabricate a two-into-one ic w/an xlr on one end, & two rca's for the other.  ec will send you wiring diagram, if you want to run balanced.  ec's older preamps can run this amp balanced w/two regular rca ic's per channel, as they also have the two +/- outs...
