Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier

I was planning on purchasing an Anthem 325 3 channel amp to run my Paradigm 85f's and 55C center speaker. My dealer suggests buying the Sim 330A  2 channel Power amp instead.  I can easily afford it if I don't buy the Lumin T2 that I was planning on purchasing and just continue with my Bluesound Node 2i for listening to Qobuz music. I respect my dealers knowledge but just want to have other opinions before I decide. Thanks

I am going to the dealer on Monday, hopefully I will make the right decision. My experience in auditioning good equipment is that everything sounds good and it’s hard to discern the differences between amps

@audiotroy The Coda 8 is out of my price range and I don't think my dealer carries it. Can you give me your opinion of the Anthem Gen 2 325 vs the Sim 330A. The Anthem is definitely in the right price range for me, my dealer says the Sim is way better and worth the extra money. Also the 325 is 3 amps, the Sim is two, my dealer said I am still better off with the Sim. Thanks if you can answer

I see your point. I was intending on buying the Anthem 70 AVM but my dealer said my 1120 was good enough

I didn't realize the Sim 330A is an older model. I can't wait for an update as I am ordering my system now

thanks, I ordered the 330A that will power my 85F speakers. My Anthem 1120 will power the rest of the system. I just hope it works out, my other option was the Anthem 325 to power the front three
