Need some juice --- High power amps

Oops - guess there's not much involved to creating a link - didn't even know I was doing it - heheh. Now, where'd I put that drink...

One amp I've used that had an almost frightening amount of housepower is the Perreaux 350A. This thing pumps some current! Spec'd at 350 per ch at 8 ohms, it actually delivers ~500 per side; at 4 ohms it truly doubles-down. So that's potentially 1000 watts per ch, & with 87db speaks you do need it. I've cranked it & cranked this amp some more with never any signs of petering out, until I feared for the life of my speakers. The SPL's kept increasing until it felt like something's gonna come apart. Musical yes; however I can't say about the matchup with your speakers since they aren't mentioned: what speakers do you actually have?

Mcintosh mc501 - mono's, 500 watts per side of muscle and musicality. It came down to these and the CJ 350 for me. Haven't heard the others on your list. These boys woke my up thiels!

FWIW, for my 85db / 4 ohm / large room / blues & rock, I went with big tubes. If you prefer solid state, great, but ASL and Rogue and one or two others have got significant tube wattage at a fair price as an option if that is also of interest.

Add the Aragon 8008BB to yor list of affordable powerhouses.I have 2 systems.System 2 has seen many well regarded and very expensive amps come and go.The Aragon has stayed in my other system for 4 years without a thought of replacing it(except maybe for Palladium Monos).
