Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?

Clayton M300 and M200 in the SS area. I do like the ASR but always felt the Clayton had more Raw Power to them.

My Counterpoint Sa. 220 has been so sweet since the 80's and I don't see it going anywhere soon.

Hi Dragon_Vibe - I have always read great things about Claytons...are they still available? Missouri I think? Do you own a pair? most curious to hear more about your impressions. thanks!

Lloydelee21, you can read about Dragon_vibe's experience with the Claytons on this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1385752123. He ended up returning them...

These are one of the best amps you can buy if your lucky in getting a good working one with no noise issue, honestly speaking I lost allot of money sending them back and forth just to get certain problems ironed out. Quality control is not up there at that price range. They are good amplifiers but mines came back noisy all the time. The noise is not your typical hiss. Anyways if you can visit Wilsen directly and have them tested out at his place and check all noise level I see no reason to buy them. Maybe im just unlucky with them who knows. I am now looking at other mono blocks setup for my theatre room.

My two channel is sorted as I am running the Atma MA2 on them. The bedroom system runs Bob Carver 305.
