Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?
I have a Conrad Johnson lp70 for my Acoustats and would like to pick up a good SS amp. My budget is about $2,500-3,000.
Jeff Rowland 525
Jeff Rowlan Model 5
Threshold s/5000e
Krell KSA-250
Thank you in advance.
Krell KSA owner here........ but look at the amps mentioned above by jjss49.
They are newer and won't require service anytime soon.
I still own a Rowland 5 but moved it to my AV system as it wasn't as smooth as the CJ Premier 11a I now use.
Agree with the Belles recco, and some of the older Classe that is actually Class A are really excellent
I have the Nelson Pass Nakamichi PA –7 for sale. Hard to beat. Built like a tank. Sounds fantastic at 200 wants per channel. Nashville $1350
I own a recapped vintage Conrad Johnson preamp. It matches in perfect synergy with a Benchmark AHB2 amp. Remarkable sound with classical and rock.
I would recommend a PS Audio BHK 250. Tube input stage, 500 watts into 4 ohms. It’s a very satisfying amp.
Had the Krell KSA 200s and I would characterize it as “illuminating “.
