I am always building or rebuilding speakers and I am getting more into playing around with speakers than messing with components these days… For instance I have a pair of maggies 2.6s that I have fixed and mod along with a pair of Dennis Murphy’s 3 ways that built… However this could change next month. So I am looking for an amp in the $2000 or less range that will drive all kinds of speakers because I never know what I will have next. I have a pair Heathkits W5s (fully mod) that I like but they won’t push most of the speakers I come across. I also have a Mac 2125 that is ok (great low end) but nothing great and I really don’t like the highs on that Mac…. Right now I was thinking about Pass Labs X150 or a Mac 252 or even a Rogue mono blocks but I am worried about the watts being that its tube… One thing I listen for in an amp is good sound stage good low-end and the highs are not harsh…
Anyway I am totally lost and any thoughts or opinions would be grateful!!!
Greetings, I'm currently running Channel Islands D200 monoblocks and find them unbeatable. They should drive most anything and are priced new within your spending limit. Happy Listening
