I recently sold my Classe Audio DR-8 power amplifier ("Pure Class A", hence the name) built in Canada and designed by David Reich. It served me very, very well with Vancdersteen 2c models and most recently with Magnapan LRS. I replaced it with a Schiit Vidar (not class-A). I am still considering the wisdom of the new v. old amplifier but class-A was very satisfying for me for a very long time.
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.
