I’m in trouble

What I liked about the D class was no heat!
I had Primaluna pre and amp running but living in So Florida listening in a 12’x14’ cave was no fun! The Arcam SA 10 I had fir a test run was rather cool but it did not sound good???
i
may try another one since I liked the amp

Thanks for all the advice !
im looking at a Rotel A 14 or A12,
Cyrus One, Cyrus One ,Ascam  SA 10 or 20 and Itoa SA3

Rotel is AB
CYRUS IS D
SA 10 is AB
SA 20 is G
Iota SA3 is AB

Big menu and no HiFi shops to audition!
I got an SA10 via mail order and sent it back low tones were raspy and hi tones “vailed” not sure if it was a bad amp or just the way it works? I did like the amp physically very much!
also totally confused ad to the amount of wattage I need. Also having coax inputs is becoming a question as well since my Streamer and CD players has both analog and dig outputs and which DAC DO. I use the one in the streamer or CD PLAYER or ONE IN THE  amp?

Then to top it off the speakers have a wide range of acceptable wattage 20-120.
I am fully conversant on wattage and the 
dB scale and under stand logs! Understanding the math is of no help-

This is supposed to be fun?
I think this all has to do with no dealers available for sample listening! It’s a PIA to 
un box ,hook up , listen  , re box and send
then to just re order! 
never had this problem in the pastWhere do I start?

The amp I sold was PA Audio S-300 and Stellar Gainn Cell DAC/pre
it was 140 at 8 and 300 watts at 4 ohms and sounded good when it worked! Amp was not functioning and needed new output brd and re build of trigger on off mechanism. The Pre amp has a chip problem in that the readout was stuck at 44.1 irrespective of input! So I never knew how or what I was listening to- no ability to fix it! Long story -many text messages -
no resolve- so I sold them both!

My speakers 
EPOS EPIC 2-4 ohms 92dBSPL
ELAC 2.0:6.2-6ohms/ 87 dBSLP

I just ordered a Peachtree 150 which will power my speakers-it’s 150 into 8 and 200 into 4 ohms. I spoke with tech support at Peachtree and they have perps with my speakers and the 150 that are satisfied.
i went over this amp carefully and ckd the
specs with tech support at Peachtree.
I was exhausted searching the web and speaking with Ill informed staff at various sellers! Also the way in which equipment data is reported is pathetic! I wish I did not fully comprehend the electronics and the measurements- I would be better off! I would be plug n play!
when I lived in Evanston Illinois and north of NYC I had great audio salons to go to with knowledge people! Buying gear was effortless and a pleasure! Where I lived in Westchester county we had two excellent dealers in a tiny town !
Not now!
Thanks for all you guidance!

Opps
i goofed
the Peachtree 150 is 250 not 200 into 4 ohms

I owned a Belles power amp years ago
great amp
it powered my Maggies with a Boulder preamp 

I wish I had what I sold thinking backwards!

Got a Peachtree 150 Nova
beautifully designed articulate
great sound and vocal clarity 
much cleaner low frequency response even out of a bookshelf speaker

the volume control needs to be moved a lot to generate changes -different from prior vol controls but I understand their design .

Thanks for all the suggestions!
Also happy that I am using an integrated amplifier . I’ve come to reduce the 
Clutter from behind my setup. Also using coax and optical has cables cut the mess down even more.

I have used separates for years. Big change!
