Any comments on the T+A PA 2000 R integrated amplifier?

Curious -- is your friend a good enough friend to bring his amp over for you to try it out in your system?  Seems that would give you a solid answer.

I think I can help. I used to own the R2000. If the listing is from Perotta consulting, that was the integrated I traded in for the T+A PA 3100 HV model. 

The R2000 is very smooth and a bit on the warm side of neutral. I bought it new and only traded up because I was needing a bit more power on the large scale symphonic music I sometimes listen to. On everyday listening, it lacked for nothing. 

Quick story: I took it to my local dealer to audition speakers I ended up purchasing. I wanted to make sure it could drive them well. He hadn’t heard any T+A gear before. He was mightily impressed and started inquiring about carrying the brand. Sound quality, build quality and company reputation are all first rate. 

I’ve not heard a lot of Musical Fidelity gear, but what I’ve heard was a bit on the bright side.  Based on memory, the T+A will likely sound more refined, smoother and warmer. If it has enough power for you, jump on it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and I understand. My nearest T & A retailer is 388 miles away.  

Just because it may sound somewhat better doesn't mean it will be more emotionally engaging.  You'll only know if you swap them out and listen.

Is there solid factory/distributor support for the T&A where you live?
