Acoustat , Hafler TNT and Jim Strickland


Hi

I own Acoustat 2+2 speakers and right now powering them with a Panny XR55 receiver (dual amped) (not the ideal I know).

I know the Acoustat TNT amps are the best match but since they are tough to find, wanted to get which Hafler TNT amp's are also great (think Strickland moved to Hafler and did their TNT series) and also are there other amp's designed by STrickland that would work well.

Side question, what is it (technically) that makes the Acoustat amp's work well with Acoustat speakers, asking as if I can identify the characteristic can look for the same characteristics on other amp's.

Thanks

I have Model 3's also. Although they're now packed away, I did listen to them for over two years. They had been powered by Haflers, Rotels, Acoustat TNT, and finally a Threshold T200 amplifier. Nothing touched the T200. It made the biggest difference in all the good ways. The TNT was just too "edgy".
