Meitner MTR101 Amps


Not in the market, but always interested in learning about older gear. How do these amps compare with stuff from today? Which companies did the Meitner compete with back in the 90's? Could these amps compare with any offerings from SimAudio, Krell, Classe, Bryston of today?

I recently had the urge to buy a pair that was being sold on Ebay. eventually, I passed them up after I did my research. What I found was more or less exactly what Rcprince wrote above. Plus, I spoke to John Wright & he told me that these amps were 10-12 years old now & that there were far too many reasonably priced amps in the market that would out-do a stock MTR-101. He modifies these amps for $1200 per pair. These amps are usually available anywhere for $800-$1000/pair. So, the cost of getting a pretty good s.s. amp out of it is an additional $1200 + 2-way shipping.
I personally felt that I could spend that much or a little more & get a more modern amp that had sound more to my liking.
FWIW. IMHO.
