Audio Research 100.2 if 100 watts is enough. Don't come up often and when they do they don't last long. Very musical amp with magic that destroys newer amps made today at its used price. Look it up on the web.
Another 'Which Amp' Question
Looking for recommendations for an amp of 100-200WPC to replace my current setup.
Present system:
Dahlquist DQ10’s (recapped, mirrored)
Mcintosh C28 Preamp
SAE A202 Power amp
Budget is somewhat limited, I was hoping to keep it at $1500 or less if possible for something along the lines of a Bryston (4b), Krell (KST100), Mac (2205), Threshold or other reasonably ’high end’ amp. Perhaps some day in the future I might trade up to a pair of Logan CLS II’s (or other...) in which case the amp would be powering those, but that’s a long way off for now.
I used to have a Mac 2150 before I owned these speakers, and what it did to my friend’s set of Paradigms was amazing. I can only guess that there would be a dramatic improvement over the present SAE amp which is just ’alright’... it drives the speakers well enough but lacks soundstage. Looking for the next step up.
Thanks in advance for your input.
