Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse

Hi all,

Sorry for my bad English, I'm wondering to buy a pow amp for my Avalon Eclipse. Recently I see Jeff Rowland model 2 & Classe 25 in Audiogon,

Could anyone give me the which one is match for my speaker? Or other amps match with? My budget is arrount $2k-$2,5k

Thank you all in advance

Sorry Rrog, I have only Mcintosh C42 in my current system. The 1st step in my plan is buying new pow amp for Eclipse, then the 2nd step will be new pre amp.
After that, Mc2205, C42 and MCD201 must go.

USPAC, the M2 manual asserts that the amp delivers 75 Watts over 8 Ohms and 150 Watts over 4 Ohms. Your speakers having an average of 6 Ohms would enjoy an average of max 110W from the amp. M2 appears to deliver a maximum continuous current of 20 Amperes with a peak at 35 Amperes.

If you were concerned about these ratings, you may want to look at a more powerful amplifier.

Do you use the first version of the Eclipse or the second improved version?

There is a pair of bryston 7b st amps for sale here for $2,500; how would those sound paired to these speakers? I'm thinking they'd have good power, right?

ASPAC - IS USED A MODEL 5 AND THEN A MODEL 10. THE MODEL 2 DOES HAVE THE OVERALL CURRENT - BUT IT DOES HAVE ITS LIMITS

RROG - YOU ARE CORRECT THE ECLIPSE'S ARE 6 OHM AND NOT 4 OHM AS I HAD PREVIOUSLY INDICATED. THEY DO LIKE THE POWER BUT CAN BE DRIVEN BY THE 75 WATT ROWLAND MODEL 2 VERY NICELY
