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.
@darkknight8586 I believe Krell KSA 150 and 250 operate in Class A and deliver plenty of power. There are some other Krell models such as sustained plateau biased models also operate in pure Class A. There is one KSA 150 available for $2,500 if you are interested. KSA 150 burn 300W when at idle! Class A efficiency is very low around 10-15% tops. For this reason, I purchased little brother in this series KST 100, but Class AB biased. Imaging, depth, spacing around instruments are outstanding.
