Class A at 250 watts is rather difficult to find at this price range. The issues you will face with this much Class A Power is "Heat" your amplifier will generate and the electrical power required for such a setup, would probably mean you need a dedicated 20amp circuit to your listening room.

Here's a pair of Aleph 2 monoblocks for $1,100: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-aleph-2-monoblocks-aleph-2-monoblock-amplifiers-2017-04-26-amplifiers-33460-lake-worth-fl--2 100 Watts Class A Your Dali's are 88 dB so 100 W would be more than enough to drive them. |
I'm pretty sure that there is no amp out there that runs Class A with 200 Wpc into 8 ohms as the amp would problably weigh over 200 pounds. For example, the old Classe CA-400 weighed 120 lbs and did 400 Wpc into 8 ohms & 800 Wpc into a 4 ohm load but it's Class A was the first 80 watts then it went into Class AB. The Classe CA-301 did 300 & 600 Wpc into 8 and 4 ohms but it's Class A was the first 60 watts before going into Class AB. I know this because I owned both amps. I don't think any manufacturer would bother to make a amp with full Class A up to 200 watts or higher. If you want a great Class A amp, solid state, it's hard to beat Pass Labs. |
