Perreaux 2150B. 200wpc/8ohms, 400wpc/4ohms. Clipping at 300+ and 500+ watts respectively! Three now for sale on EBAY - $600, $800 and $1290. I bought one to use with my restored DQ-10's - a speaker that really benefits from a powerful amp!
It might help if you tell us what speakers and gear that you have. The lack of liveliness could be due to a very warm sounding preamp/source and/or speakers rather than being inefficient. But more watts on an inefficient speaker is always good. If your have a very warm system, Bryston is probably just about the fastest responding amp I know of.
Pure Class A! I read a review years ago on the Dynaudio Special 25’s..The most musical system was a Cayin Class A SS amp and the reviewer stated that because Class A is always "on" it allows saturation of the crossover and faster response time giving them much better low level response...
