Hi, Lotus: I am a very satisfied owner of the Bryston 4B-ST, and can heartily recommend it. If you decide to buy the 4B-ST, drop me a line and I will give you contact info on the dealer where I bought mine at a substantial discount (less than $1800 for a new unit).
200w/ch stereo amps: best 1 for under 2000 used?
Looking to get 2 stereo amps of around 200 watts/channel, and under $2000 used. That puts several amps into contention:
Krell KAV-250a
Byrston 4B ST
Levinson
Classe
Jeff Rowland?
Muse
Boulder?
others?
are there any tube amps to consider in that price and power range?
The amp will be paired with a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 preamp, and drive dynamic speakers that are not too efficient (87 db) with a 6 ohm nomial (4 ohm minimum) impedance, in a fairly large room (16ft x 45 ft x 9 ft)
I'd like to know what people think? I've been generally thinking of the KAV-250a and Bryston, but have seen other amps come up that seem interesting a potentially good value? What do think would be a good buy in the price range and in the application?
