Bedini 25/25 1 meg


I am interested in the bedini 25/25 amp listed here: https://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Amplifier-SS/BEDINI-25-25-1-MEG/SERIAL-2/One-of-the-rar...

Anyone knows what does the “1 meg” refer to for the bedinis?

Are this worth trying for 86db speakers? Read that they sound good and got curious. Thanks.

iirc correct the 1 meg designation was given to john’s highest tier of quality amps... they had more power supply filtration and best transistor selection, and was rated at slightly lower distortion than the non 1 meg versions

25/25 will not drive 86 db speakers to comfortable levels in a good size room, may be ok for nearfield

you realize with a bedini, you are buying a 40+ year old amp (will need recap if nothing else), john bedini is deceased, and current owners are rather challenged to get the amps serviced these days.... yes?

eyes open before you leap ...

ps - further info, in case you have not seen:

@jjss49  Thanks for the info, just read that thread you linked, very helpful. Also seems that the listing price at $1800 for a bedini 25/25 is a bit higher than normal. I would probably hold on to my curiosity and wait to see if a bel 1001 or forte model 4a pops up in the future. Thanks!
That's a high price to pay! I bought a Bedini 150/150 for less than 1/3 of that! I recommend waiting until a Bedini amp becomes available for under a grand! One with more power than the 25/25 would be more suitable for your speakers.
