| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? I had no idea most class A type amps switch into alternate AB power after a set threshold. This is really cool though. Just looking for advice on a great solid state choice in the 2k - 3k range. So far Pass designs are king. Let me know if the... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Interesting - thanks! | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Part of my inspiration to move to solid state was a purchase of a Kenwood 700 M which I think sounds amazing compared to my ICE powered amp. I figured a modern solid state version would be even better. The Threshold looks nice. | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? With regards to Glennewdick's comment - What about the more vintage class A power amps such as Acuphase or Luxman? Which models were you thinking? What about 70's power amps like Marantz, Sansui or Pioneer? Are these considered garbage soundin... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Thank you @digepix . I will have a look! | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? I would be fine with an amp that went into a/b mode after so many watts. I'm assuming that it makes less difference after a certain volume level and would drive down cost. Is that correct on both counts? What about specific models in the used 3 ... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Yes it is good question. I want one silver in relatively good shape about 4-5 years old. I'd like about 250 -300 watts. | |
| Best Acoustic Carpet and Padding for music room? I am willing to spend several hundred dollars, but I want a real acoustic carpeting treatment. There are variances out there in product. | |
| Using high powered amp at low volumes power Does anyone know if a (higher end) class D amp such as Audio Research-type would run with less noise than solid state at low volumes if the 'high wattage' was exactly the same? Say 350 watts class D vs. 350 watts class A? | |
| Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral I Demo'd the Peachtree grand amp with my old Kef XQ3 speakers which are about $2k MSRP vs the 9k Dalis and I believe the issue is with the speakers and not the amp. The Dalis are too sophisticated, polite and rounded (at least for that amp) The ke... | |
| REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables. Thanks Al. | |
| REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables. I did get one of those cables made with the RCA ground from my stereo dealer, however I'm not sure if they modified the plug in such a way that the center of the plug is not affected per Almarg. I spoke to Sumiko and they would not commit on a RCA... | |
| Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral Yes, and that strategy goes for anything in life (job , girlfriend etc...) :) | |
| Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have to schedule a field trip to listen to the Aerial collection and check out some other amps for comparison. Have a great weekend. Any others suggestions are certainly welcome. | |
| Speakers: Color VS. Nuetral Just saw the last two posts from begator and Jl35. Yes those points make sense. The enclosure is a bit small and when Peahctree showed off the Grand they did use the bigger speakers. I'm sure the Dalis can get more from some of the signature Amps ... |
