suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists
Looking for an amplifier below 2K for my Altec 620A (99 db efficiency). My actual amp is a Sugden A25B, which has 34 watts/chanel in class AB. Although quite musical, it lacks transparency and details. Of course, the best amplifier would be tube or class A but I'm trying to avoid these because of the heat and the electricity bill (my amp is on all day long). My short list include :
- Audio by Van Alstine Set-120
- Ayre AX 7e (used)
- Sugden Mystro (class AB)
- Benchmark AHB2 (used)
NOTE : please, no class D since I'm not familiar with it (and pretty skeptic too).
