Looking for amp reccomendation


I currently have an NAD Home Theater 7 channel amp with Persona B Speakers as main. I would like to purchase a used Class A or A/B solid state amp for around 3K, used give or take a few dollars for two channel listening.


Do you think I would really notice the difference in sound when listening to two channel stereo with a class A amp versus two channel set up on my Home Theater?

Suggestions for amps? Thanks in advance.  Sorry about spelling recommendation.  Couldn't edit.

If I'm not mistaken, the NAD 7 channel HT amps are based on nCore amps? Good stuff.

If you want to try something else, I absolutely would not suggest Pass as the only brand you should listen to.

The triad I normally suggest in solid state is Luxman, Pass, Ayre.

I feel, perhaps not always true, that to like Pass you have to come from tube gear. If you are coming from clean class-D you may in fact find it off putting, as I do, so listen to these three as alternatives.

You should also consider Parasound A series amps, but I feel you'll probably feel them equivalent to what you have, and therefore not worth the trade.

Best,
