Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps

Parasound A21, makes my Maggie's sing. Very happy with it.

Krell KSA 200 s
or FPB 200 if you are stateside and can find one it they both fit your requirement. If needed Krell can do a restoration on the Units. Bar none IMHO The best Ive owned

+1 Parasound A21

I had a Mod Squad Quad 405 for over 25 years after having a stock 405 for about 8 years (Mod Squad's Steve McCormack later became McCormack Audio),  a Bryston 8B for several years which was more powerful and slightly more detailed, replaced it with an Edge M6 which was deeper and fuller in the bass and just a little more dynamic and live sounding than the Bryston, and then bought a used pair of Nuforce Reference 9 V3 SE mono amps that are 175 watts/channel.  The Nuforce amps were very detailed, dynamic, with very good bass, with no etch in the highs--a very nice step up in all ways from what I had.  I liked them so much I had TDSS's Bob Smith do the level 3 upgrades to them.  The circuits were not changed, but the power supplies and several other things were--they are now super amps.  I got the Nuforce amps for $1400 used from the original owner.  I've now heard these upgraded amps with 5 totally different but excellent speakers and it was the best each of those owners speakers had ever sounded by a significant margin.  You could buy the amps and later, if you desired, have TDSS do the upgrades when you had more money.  The Nuforce amps already sound very good with a wide variety of speakers--and you'd have a possible end game set of amps if you did the upgrades to them.

Just becareful buying used ,when it does died ,you have nothing but metal.Which could be an expensive piece of junk.
