I use Outlaw Audio M200 monoblocks in my five channel system, driving Thiel 3.5's and 2 2's. These are Class A/AB at lower power levels and switch to Class D above 85watts on up to 200wpc (8 ohm) or 300wpc (4 ohm). Their current model is the M2200, the same amp but with an added pair of balanced inputs. These sell online at <$400 and can be returned if dissatisfied. They have high bass control, excellent transparency, and a coherent and wide soundstage. A good option to explore.
Old Amp vs. New Amp
Hi All!
I'm in search of a new amplifier and I am looking at new amps as well as older used amps. There is some really great older gear out there for very reasonable prices, and of course the new stuff is considerably more expensive.
Is newer stuff really any better than some of the great older gear from the 90's and early 00's?
Opinions?
