There are two Perreaux amps available now on eBay. A 2150B and a 3000B. $1290 and $650. Both are equal to any of today's four-figure amps. They are rated at 300 and 200 wpc. I own a 2150B - 340/680/920wpc@8/4/2 ohms. I chose it over a big Mark Levinson amp.
What to do? I want a new amplifier to make my Dynaudio Contours to "sing"
Hi
The story so far ,,,,,,,,
Once upon a time a man disregarded his partners advice & wanted to dive back into HiFi listening after a long period .. He wanted to purchase something speecial something better than before... something that made the music more closer to like you were there live....
something that when you listened it made the hairs on the back of you neck standup
He got some second hand Dynaudio contour 3.4 s which he loved, but his partner thought he was a fool ...
He then purchased a Cambridge Audio CXN V2streamer/pre amp
His old amplifier , brought out of retirrement wasnt really up to it .... it died,
& after all the berating about purchaing these ""costly speakers"
& a new streamer /pre amplifier , she said "you're not going spend more of our hard earned cash $ on this fool hardy exercise
He lameneted & purchased a second hand budget amp Rotel RB 980... to continue the journey and keep listening.
Part of her did enjoy the new music
This fool hardy man is looking to upgrade , i was thinking down the Musical fidelity line
A5 CR or maybe A5 integrated second hand.. or a new M6 PRX
any advice/ direction/ from other travellers would be most welcomed
Ive been told these are ineffecent speakers & need ++++ current
second hand i am looking at a $2000 budget...
I sometimes get the urge to crank it a little loud but hey
Regards & thanks
the fool
