How about a Schiit Vidar? At 100 watts/ch, it is a shade more powerful than your 80 watt spec, but definitely class AB and 22 lbs and a fairly small footprint. (In my case, I have their class A Aegir which is much lower power, but all of their amps have excellent sound quality.)
Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
What the world needs is a nice sounding lower power class AB amplifier under 35lbs. I'm tired of power sucking light-bulb dimming Class A designs and 80+ pound Class AB immovable boat anchors on dollies. Tubes and Class D need not apply.
An Audio Research 100.2, CJ MF-80/MF-2250 come to mind. What else is there?
What do you think? I'm I the only one?
