Opinion on Audio Research DSi200 integrated amp

op

you got a very good unit at an excellent price, kudos to you on that

the dsi 200 is a very good (but short of great) powerful integrated amplifier sonically, and the build quality is outstanding

very hard to beat at that price, used or new

only units i can think of that could credibly compete is a used hegel h160 ($2000) or h360 ($2800) that would sound a little better, if the build quality is quite good but a touch below arc

Thanks for the insights. I'm thinking of Magnepans 1.7i's for speakers

the arc will be excellent with the maggies

(as would either hegel, which are equally - if more recently - famous for how well they do maggies)

enjoy!

It’s an early Class D amp. I wonder how it stacks up against the newest Class D offerings?
