20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
Just a random thought, but I’m curious just how well the state of the art solid-state amplifiers from 20 years ago compare to some of today’s better offerings. For example, what does a pair of Mark Levinson 33Hs or a Krell FPB 600 sound like if compared to the latest offerings from Pass Labs or Ayre Acoustics?

^Though this might appear as a left handed compliment, it most definitely is not. Perfectly lovely amps that are also powerful. Does nothing really offensive. Plays nice with a variety of pres, so long as they’re not balanced. Factory updates available. Perhaps not the most neutral, or best to drive the very most difficult loads. If compelled to live with them, I could be very happy doing so. |
Jafant, better than many, not as good as some. c-j has taken the position that they're above specsmanship. https://www.stereophile.com/content/conrad-johnson-mf2500-power-amplifier-measurements |
