Should I buy a Class A Amp.


I would Love to buy a Class A Amp. I have a Sony Tan-80ES Amp right now and I have had it for 19 yrs. To me it sounds Great but I am curious about Class A Amps. Do they really sound better? I am looking at a Krell KSA 200 Amp right now for $2000.00. It is older then my Sony. Is this too much for such an old Amp? Would Love to hear members thoughts on this.  

Blessings, ..........Don.

Atmasphere I've never heard one of your amps (I live in New Zealand) but from what I've read they would indeed do just as well on rock as on classical or jazz. Same with the big Pass amps. They're very expensive though, and when you get down to the slightly compromised amps there are trade-offs that mean some are better at rock than others. Bass and PRAT are essential for rock and some amps just don't deliver because they have other priorities.
