I own a Continuum Stage amplifier. It is a great amp. It is also sold by Legacy (the speaker company)as their High Current amp. Same amp but the faceplate is milled & styled slightly differently. Bascom King reviewed the amp in 1996 (I believe) Puts out 270 watts @ 8 ohms & 450 watts @ 4 ohms. Had the most uniform output impedence he'd ever tested! He liked the amp alot. I love mine. It will drive anything. I have had mine 2 years. Bought direct from Coda cause no local dealer in Atlanta (altho Chattanooga Valley Audio in Rossville GA may now carry the line). This is a fully hand made product w/ a 5 year warranty. You can't go wrong. Coda is presently selling some 1st generation stuff @ a large discount over their website. I believe the pre you're interested in. Check it out!
