Opinion of Acurus 2 and 3 channel amplifiers is ... what?


I have an opp to purchase some gently used nearly in perfect condition a200x3 and a250x2 acurus amplifiers for what seems to be reasonable price. Not sure how they would match up with some B&W cdm9nt's. 

Anyone have an opinion on if this is a good match? I know there is better amp choices for more money, but for approx $600 I am not sure I can find a better amp section for the money.  Go or no go?

As I understand it these are acurus amps when acurus was still part of mondial.

Well, considering I own an A200 and A200x3 and have owned another A200, 200x3, pair of A150s, pair of 200FIVEs, a pair of A250s, A100, A100x3, I guess I will respond.

Can't say how the Acurus will sound with your B&W's but with my Klipsch RF-63/RC-64/RS-35s setup, they sound wonderful.  Great punch/bass drive and detail and surprisingly neutral with the horn loaded titanium compression drivers.

Of all the Acurus amps I have owned, none have failed in any way and have been quiet as a mouse though I am considering recapping my current pair due to their pushing 20 year age.

If you can get the pair for around $600.00, then I say go for it.  If it does not mate well with your B&Ws, then you should be able to recoup all $$$ with no problem.

Very simple design but with mil spec parts.  
I will probably send my Acurus amps to these guys sometime in the near future.  Heard/read really good things about them.
