You can get a used BAT VK-600SE for, at most, 1/2 of your budget. A very powerful and very good sounding amp.
BAT VK 250 vs Pass XA30.5 for Wilson Sophia 2
Any experience with either of these amps on Sophia's?
Have them about 2 weeks now and they are terrific with my Rogue 90 tubes.
I'd like a balanced ss amp as the rest of my system is balanced (Mytek Brooklyn dac and Vincent Sa-t8 tube preamp). Room is 18'X13' and primarily classical listening, especially symphonic.
Thanks,
Joe
