One amp I've used that had an almost frightening amount of housepower is the Perreaux 350A. This thing pumps some current! Spec'd at 350 per ch at 8 ohms, it actually delivers ~500 per side; at 4 ohms it truly doubles-down. So that's potentially 1000 watts per ch, & with 87db speaks you do need it. I've cranked it & cranked this amp some more with never any signs of petering out, until I feared for the life of my speakers. The SPL's kept increasing until it felt like something's gonna come apart. Musical yes; however I can't say about the matchup with your speakers since they aren't mentioned: what speakers do you actually have?
Need some juice --- High power amps
I am looking for a high power amplifier to drive my 87db / 4 ohm speakers. I am interested in any real experience in comparing the following solid state amplifiers:
o Edge NL-12
o conrad johnson Premier 350
o Pass X-250.5
o Ayre V-1xe
o McCormack DNA-500
I understand the price differential, what I am most interested in is the musicality of the five amps as well as any other amps that should be considered in this company.
FYI, an Audio Aero Capitole Mk II SE will be feeding the amplifier directly.
Thanks for your help and time.....
