You won't find any used and will need to raise your budget to $5Kish but soon you will be able to buy the new Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks. Even after some time, I don't think you will find any used because I don't think anyone will want to part with them.
Class A amplifier alternative?
Hi everyone,
I am looking for an amp with about 200-300 watt/8ohm/channel for my speakers. People say that Class A is the best to have. However, with this power, Class A amp would be super heavy (for me) The amp at this power is usually 100 lbs or higher. I wonder if there is any other solution here that doesn't compromise the sound quality? My budget is $3000 (used items).
Just FYI, I once tried class D but the sound is very clinical, thin and sterile in my system.
Thank you!
Huy

@mglik do you have link to Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks? I googled but couldn't find. Thank you. |
Not sure what speakers you have. IN building 40wpc Class A mono block amps we recently had a friend bring over his Mola-Mola mono blocks $16K retail with a ton of wpc. After swapping them out, he asked us why to the Class A amps sound more powerful. So unless you really need 200wpc a good class A will perform. But like already mentioned, nothing I know for $3K!
Happy Listening. |
