$2000 is a tough budget for a good Class A amp. Your choices will be limited to older amps like the Krell KSA or the Plinius. The KSA are great amps but old which means you will be sitting on a time bomb. Rebuilding those amps will be expensive. If you can wait and up your budget, the Pass XA25 is the current model and should drive your speakers just fine
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
Hello everyone,
There are so many brands out there that I couldn't catch up with, so I opened a thread about Class-A Amp for discussion. My budget is around $2000 for a Stereo Amplifier (No need for Pre), could you guys help me to suggest me some?
- DAC: Exogal Comet
- Pre/Amp: Yamaha Intergrated A-9 (My current, but want to update)
- Speaker: Sonus Faber Venere 2.0
- Cable: Acrolink (Power, Interconnect, Speaker)
=> I think the wattage range between 30-60WPC for Class-A is powerful and popular. The production date of amplifier should not too old, I think after 199x is nice.
