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!

Huy

The Perreaux 2150B is certainly a "sleeper" among high-power amps! Sonically it can go fifteen rounds against any of today's expensive amps.

Perreaux 2150B! 340/680/920 wpc@8/4/2 ohms.Can be found for $1K or less! I have one for "heavy lifting"!
