I guess the obvious question, and the only way to be truly helpful is to ask what speakers are you running and what is your room like? Why do you need 2-300 class A watts into 8ohms? If it’s just to say "mine is bigger’ that's pretty much a waste of time and energy. Tell us more about your setup ad perhaps we can be more helpful?
Class A amplifier alternative?
Hi everyone,
I am looking for an amp with about 200-300 watt/8ohm/channel for my speakers. People say that Class A is the best to have. However, with this power, Class A amp would be super heavy (for me) The amp at this power is usually 100 lbs or higher. I wonder if there is any other solution here that doesn't compromise the sound quality? My budget is $3000 (used items).
Just FYI, I once tried class D but the sound is very clinical, thin and sterile in my system.
Thank you!
