I had a Krell KSA 100 amp but replaced it with a McIntosh MC7100 amp that I like better. More dynamic and smoother. Quite a little power house and a bargain at $700 or so. You could stick with Forte too - I have seen some good deals on the 200W AB amp (forgot the model, 4?) lately. Good luck! Arthur
In search of Power Amp replacement
I'm powering a pair of Clements RT-7's (T-line & ribbons) 6.5 ohm and have a Forte Audio Model 2 Pre. These are not the most efficient speakers on the planet but I have grown to love the way they sound. They have very deep bass and the amp would need to shine in the lower registers. Bryston and Creek have been suggested to me but I've not heard either yet. The sticky point is my current budget. I need to keep the cost in the 1k range(new or used). I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
