A sincere 2nd vote for the NAD M22 Class D Amp. I have Class A SS, Tube A/B and the NAD Class D and I find compelling reasons to like them all equally well. The NAD does put off some heat, not sure what amp doesn't honestly. Good luck and if possible, demo before making a final decision. I've been amazed at what a blind listening test will unveil in a familiar room.
Class D for a Tube Lover
First, I'm sure this has been asked many times but searching the subject wasn't too helpful to me.
So apologies in advance.
I enjoy tubed electronics and class A amps, which tend to be a bit warm. My current Cary 805s warm my small (12x16) music room even in the cool/cold of winter. I've got other amps that don't produce much heat, but am looking for something that produces no heat. Living in a home with no central AC the room gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months.
So...I'd like to try some Class D amps. Stereo or mono is just fine. And my speakers aren't difficult to drive so I don't need a thousand watts. But if that thousand watt amp sounds great, I'm not adverse to that, either.
I'd like to keep the price under 2k used.
Please help.
Thanks.
