Threshold S200 or Phase linear 400

That is the question.

Speakers : JBL L112

The Phase linear is completely new, rebuilt by a very skilled phase linear lover.
The threshold is in good shape and sounds well in the store, but no component has been changed...

I cannot try the amps on my system in my room, so I am looking for some feedback from experienced people...

Almost the same price...

What is your advice ?

Threshold is a in a different class. Phaselinear was budget gear 35 years ago when new. Get that Threshold ,100 watts of clean power.

I run a Threshold S/500 as my bass amplifier in my bi-amp system. Even full-range, it's one of my favorite power amps. Excellent bass, very detailed and not forward or harsh.

After all, this is the work of Nelson Pass.

The S series of amplifiers are very special - it's really two amps in one. A Class A amplifier that pretty much can call upon a Class AB amplifier if extra current is required.
