Classe DR-25 worth buying?

The DR-25 is 250 watts per channel, sonically it would rate very highly against the majority of todays amps. If you find a Model Twenty-Five amp my suggestion would be to make that purchase rather then the earlier DR-25. After Reich left the company Glen Grue and associates made some subtle improvements to the 25, my opinion of the latter amp is that it was a major improvement. The audio rags agree as well, look up the old reviews of the Fifteen and Twenty-Five and you'll find consensus that the mods were major improvements.

I have owned both the DR-25 and the Twenty-Five, and I still own a Fifteen which is to date my favourite amp regardless of company. I find these amps extremely musical, very well balanced, and when it comes to reserves they stand up very well.

Probably responding too late to help, but just in case. The DR-25 will drive the Scintilla's to perfection, it is an extremely high current design, and stable into almost any load. I have personally seen the Scintilla's driven to perfection with a Classe Audio Fifteen, the smaller sibling to the 25 (or the later Twenty-Five). There are few amps that can claim the current capability or the stability into low impedances that these amps can.

Don't know where Audiokinesis gets his info, but he has gotten his info very wrong...just describing the 25 as little leads me to believe an unfamiliarity with this amp.
