As I am watching the MMA prelims, I am scanning the "A'gon pages. I might have missed something, but what speakers are being used by the op, how is the room set up, and can an improvement be made upstream, in the system, prior to the amp ?
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.
