Hi,
I just retired and bought my amps for life. I invested in CODA amps and preamp. CODA was formed by Doug Dale and a group of engineers who worked for Threshold along with Nelson Pass when it went under. Pass formed Pass Labs the rest formed CODA. Both companies use similar high quality circuits and design. I had both the Coda CP Preamp and the Pass XP 20 to evaluate. I would give a slight nod to the Pass I build quality but nothing sonically. Price Pass $9000, Coda $3500.
The CODA CSX amp has 25 watts class A and will not heat up your room at all. It runs cool to the touch even when pushed to the max. The Coda electronics have been found to be superior to the following amps and my system.
JC1 and the JC2
Krell Ksa 250
Krell mda 500
Levinson's 436
Pass xp 20
Levinson's 32 and 380s
Arc ref 3
Give it a listen. I don't think you'll be dissapointed.
Available at Coda direct sales or through Legacy Audio in Springfield.
