Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers

I know of one who owns some 20-plus year old Classe model D-25 (I believe) and really enjoys them. He also has had much exposure to and has owned some outstanding amps.

-IMO

I owned an SM70 and currently own a pair of the Monarchy SE100Delux's. The SM70 was a sweet little amp. I just sold it but it was hard to let it go. Was looking to buy another one and run them as monos but could not find another one with matching faceplate. The only problem I had with the SM70 was that it ran hot. It doubled as a space heater in my little 10x9 office; good in the winter but not so good in the summer.

Hope this helps,

Threshold sa-1 or sa-2 mono bloc amps are still considered the best of class a sound today. They are just very tough to find.

Gryphon mono blocks DM-100. Excellent amps.Threshold Amps are too bright for my taste.

Don't forget the Krell KSA-250. This is a superb amp.
