I personally like Bedini amps. I owned the original 200/200 pure class A, this amp was good to 1.5 ohms. I ran it on the Infinity Servo Static 1A electrostats and the original Martin Logan CLS for 40 years with no problems. I also have the original 25/25 pure class A and the 10/10 class A, which I have also had for 40 years with every day use. These amps sound better than most solid state amps and hold up.
Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps
Hi All. I'm looking for a bang for the buck, diamond in the rough, 200-ish WPC power amp that will hang really tough with what's out there today in the vintage or recently new realm. Trying to keep $$$ under 2K. I currently own a Nakamichi PA-7 (Nelson Pass Stasis design). Looking for an amp that is great at doing the disappearing act, smooth sounding, but not colored, and with lots of authority. I realize that there are as many opinions on this as stars in the night sky but thought I would ask anyway. Been considering a Threshold S/500, Levinson 23.5, Bryston 4B family. Any standouts that I should try to find? Let's hear from you.
