What qualities do you look for in a good amp?


Can you name them as well?

Look for an amp that doubles it power (watts) as the ohms are halved. This is a sign of a stable amp that will drive almost any speaker load.

IE:
200 watts @ 8 ohms
400 watss @ 4 ohms
800 watss @ 2 ohms etc.,etc.

Like Rockvirgo said, the heavier the amp, usually the better... this translates into a larger power supply and more $$$.

Short list to start with: Audio Reserach, Bryston, Krell, Mark Lenvinson, Pass Labs.(only to name a few) These are all high quality, well made amps, by 1st rate manufactures.

The final choice is what sounds best to YOU, not the BS the salesperson tells you. Good Luck!
