Power rating specs can be misleading,I have amps rated at 800 watts not delivering the power of 200 watts rated amps.You could add to your list YBA Passion 1000 monos(some one on audiogon was selling a pair)Gryphon amps there are a number of high power ones both class A,monos or stereos.Gryphons can be very expensive and very heavy.A recently available digital amp rated at 1000 watts at 4 ohms and very cheap,light and cool is Acoustic Reality 1001,they also make an expensive version of the same amp.Their amps sound great.The YBA are the best sounding amp I have ever listened to.
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.....
