Which Threshold s are best?


Just wondering for those of you up on Thresholdif one were looking for a vintage piece which Threshold to look for?I assume one made while Mr.Pass ran the show.Thinking more than 100 maybe 150 to 300 a side.Also thoughts if any about the licence he gave Nakamichi to build their Stasis 100 and 200 wpc amps.Can they deliver on the cheap?Are there problem amps to avoid?
Thanks

For class AB, the S500e and 550e are the best I have heard. For class A, I prefer the T400 driven balanced by the T2 preamp. I think this is the best I have heard period. The T400 is basically dual mono unlike the lower power amps in the T series. John S mentioned that the bridge rectifier can fail on the T200 when driven hard over long periods. He has a simple fix and can update the bridge to the fast recovery type. Please note that most preamps cannot handle the low impedance on the balanced inputs very well.
