Suggestions needed for an SS Stereo Amp w/+175wpc


I need to reduce the number of components to accommodate a smaller rack. Room size is 15 x 20 x 9ft. Currently using Arcam P1 monoblocks (175wpc @8ohms) with an Arcam AV8. The system is used for stereo listening and video. Speakers will be Ohm 1000's.

The preamp output impedance of the AV8 is 25 ohms. To obtain satisfying dynamics at low volume I want an amp with as much, or more power than the P1's.

Which SS amps should I consider that will pair well with the preamp section of my AV8? My budget is 2k, and recommendations for used amps are fine. Thanks.

Dante,

Dante, For the smaller OHM 1000s, I think you have many very good options that would appear to match well to your pre-amp and outperform the Arcams:

Musical Fidelity A3CR $600-$700 used this is what I am using and can voutch it sounds great with the OHMs and it provides plenty of power and current for my OHM 100.3s in my 12X12 room and does a hard to fault job even with OHM 5s in a much larger 20X30 L shaped room (my largest).

Other larger amps I have seriously considered (more for the 5s in the larger room than the 100s):

Wyred 4 sound st/sx/250 - should be within your $2000 price range

Audio Research D400 mkii - one up for sale here currently that has caught my eye

Musical Fidelity A308CR (one up here currently by a local to me seller that I have considered)

Musical Fidelity A5CR - step up from my current A3CR

I also like Classe amps for use with SS pre-amps in particular though I cannot suggest the Classe models to consider in your range without further research.
