Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps?


I need a power amp for my Shahinian Obelisk speakers, and Shahinian recommends Bedini.I like natural,liquid,relaxed,but dynamic,musical sound with "be there",live feeling,bass must be exellent ,full and detailed, and i allways prefere analog to digital.I like all kind of music.I am thinking about Classic 100 , or older models.

Hello, I know this is a old thread but I wanted to ask if anyone would have any info on the Bedini 66 Mkll preamp? Like age and any other info? I pick one that sat in a hi fi shop for twenty years. It had a hum but I replaced the PS caps and it good to go! BUT if I turn the two balance knobs all the way up with the volume I hear his and slight hum. Is this preamp worth using? Its clean sounding except the hiss. So not the Darkest background but can really tell at what playing music at normal volumes. I guess it runs in pure class a because of know power switch. the highs are tad vintage sounding if you know what mean?

Thank you!

Only analog

@onlyanalog The 66 pre-amp was released alongside the MkII amplifiers I believe. There was also a 6677 pre-amp that was dual mono (it was just two 66 pre-amps stacked on top of each other with one face plate.

 

I read somewhere that the pre-amp pairs well with the Bedini amps because they both invert polarity, but I can't find where I read that right now.

 

Here's the specs for the 66 pre-amp from the manual:

RMS Power (@ 1kHz): 11.5 Volts into 600 ohms

Freq Response @ Full Power: 5Hz to 35kHz

Freq Response @ 1 Volt, 600 ohms: 5Hz to 100kHz

Phono Overload: 1Khz, 500mV

Phono amp output Voltage: .5 Volt input for 6.25 volt output

Slew rate in Aux: 100 V/us at 11.5 Volts output

T.M.I. - .22 20 Hz to 20 kHz

T.H.D. - .015% 20 Hz to 20kHz

IM Mixed Frequency 4:1 ratio - .015% 20 Hz to 20kHz
