Thank you all for your suggestions ... they are greatly appreciated ... I am researching each of them and added to my list the Belles Aria, Plinius 8100, Portal Panache and Odyssey khartago ... Apart from the Belle Aria, all have 100 watts / channel (or more) ... as my speakers are 100 db efficient, I won't use all that power ... my current amp is 34 watts / channel and it can drive my Altec hard enough ... I'd rather have a great sounding amplifier of 50 watts (plus or less 10 watts) than a 100 watts (or more) ... thanks!
suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists
Looking for an amplifier below 2K for my Altec 620A (99 db efficiency). My actual amp is a Sugden A25B, which has 34 watts/chanel in class AB. Although quite musical, it lacks transparency and details. Of course, the best amplifier would be tube or class A but I'm trying to avoid these because of the heat and the electricity bill (my amp is on all day long). My short list include :
NOTE : please, no class D since I'm not familiar with it (and pretty skeptic too).
- Audio by Van Alstine Set-120
- Ayre AX 7e (used)
- Sugden Mystro (class AB)
- Benchmark AHB2 (used)
NOTE : please, no class D since I'm not familiar with it (and pretty skeptic too).
