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

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. |
I do like the ASR Battery Powered version. They are smooth and easy to listen too. At the end of the day forget about all the audio jewellery its a big waste of money and time. Find a nice smooth amplifier which is transparent to the source but has a slight warmth to it. This will save the headache pills and keep you in the listening room all day. Everyone on here is going to say his amplifier is the best this and that. it all comes down to how long you can listen to music with absolute musicality. I always found smooth sounding components slightly more warmer and emotional. These are just my own opinions. I am also into pro audio speakers and have a set of Danley SH50 and still looking to purchase the Quested LT20s. I'm into music, home theatre and PC Gaming on the big screens. I spend hours in the theatre room so for me its important. That's one reason why I went with the claytons. I do miss them allot but could not hack the loss off funds anymore. |
