My vote goes to JC1s. I have the A21 stereo amp, but if I had the dough I'd sell that amp and get 2 JC1s. I think Curl is a great amp engineer/designer. I guess the only other amp brand I would consider is Pass, but that company is not on your list.
Power Amp Suggestions
Hi All
My cherished Krell KRS 200 recently gave up the ghost. Not being located in the US, repairing is not an option. These were powering B&W 800d. Sources are the PS Audio Directstream Junior and Clear Audio DC Performance. The pre is a Krell KRC3.
I have the following options available to me.
VTL MB450
Classe CT-M 600
Krell 402e
Parasound JC1
Ml 532
Mcintosh Various models
All of these are within my budget with the JC1s being the cheapest. I did like the sound of my Krells.
Any recommendations based on experience with these amps. I want to keep suggestions limited to above brands as they are the ones available to me with dealer support.
I think going the VTL route may also entail a change in the Pre as well making it much more expensive proposition.
Thanks
