Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier

I was planning on purchasing an Anthem 325 3 channel amp to run my Paradigm 85f's and 55C center speaker. My dealer suggests buying the Sim 330A  2 channel Power amp instead.  I can easily afford it if I don't buy the Lumin T2 that I was planning on purchasing and just continue with my Bluesound Node 2i for listening to Qobuz music. I respect my dealers knowledge but just want to have other opinions before I decide. Thanks

I own the Moon by SimAudio 700i V2 Integrated Amplifier and like it very much.   It is a welcomed addition to my audio system.

Can you audition the SimAudio 330A Power Amplifier is your audio system?  As you already know, and can see above, everyone has a different opinion but it is your decision.   I agree with your retailer that the SimAudio 330A Power Amplifier is an excellent choice.

The SimAudio 330A amplifier is a fine unit.  You can read numerous reviews online.  I was going to buy one but held off as it is an old model and will likely be updated soon.  The last updated amp was the 860A which became the 860A V2.

I had 2 of the 330A running in Mono with the 390 as a pre.

Wonderful setup but was way way more than I needed.

I have been downsizing and have gone all tubes.

thanks, I ordered the 330A that will power my 85F speakers. My Anthem 1120 will power the rest of the system. I just hope it works out, my other option was the Anthem 325 to power the front three

I didn't realize the Sim 330A is an older model. I can't wait for an update as I am ordering my system now
