20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017

Just a random thought, but I’m curious just how well the state of the art solid-state amplifiers from 20 years ago compare to some of today’s better offerings. For example, what does a pair of Mark Levinson 33Hs or a Krell FPB 600 sound like if compared to the latest offerings from Pass Labs or Ayre Acoustics?

Per the review- MC really pushed this power amp to its absolute limits.
Impressive numbers across the wattage board.

unsound

are you reporting that the MF-2300 / 2500 are not stable down to 2 ohms?
I have been searching for 4 ohms power ratings.

I can recall auditioning that 1st Sunfire amp circa 1995/96 on Vandersteen 2 series speakers. Very nice sound indeed. I want to say that the amp was 300wpc ?


Happy Listening!
