Need recommendation for amplifier

After using the Red Dragons for two days virtually non-stop,
I’ve come to some conclusions.  I know it’s much too soon to make a really informed evaluation, but I think I know the basic character of the amp.
Even though it “kicked in” from it’s original cold start, it seems to have a brightness that I find impossible to listen to. It’s not because it’s a class D amp.  The amps I’ve had for several years (NuForce Reference 9 monoblocks) are also Class D and they have just the right character to my taste.  The Red Dragons would have to go a very long way to reach that level.
I’m now considering a Belles Hot Rod amp available on  Audiogon recommended by Schubert and Johnny from Audio Connection.

Alfau7,

As you can see from the above post, the brightness did not go away.
A deal breaker for me.
The NuForce sta 200 has none of that brightness.  It just doesn’t have quite the level of definition as my old NuForce. Otherwise I would have kept it.
However, I regard it as a terrific unit, regardless of price.

Taranis

For the price I suggest to find a used pass x series and be done with it.

Rvpiano thank you really for your honesty, my speakers have a small tendency to bright so the red dragon is out of my list. might help you, my other options are the parasound a23,  nuprime St 10,  job 225, maybe  Odyssey (reliable issues I have read)
