Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (MSRP $1995) is small both with both SE and XLR. Can be bought used ~ $900. That is a BARGAIN
Can you recommend a small (in size) Amplifier 150 -250 W Power per channel
I want to replace my FPB250m monoblocks and KRC-3 preamp with an integrated Amp,What would be the smallest (in dimensions) integrated amp that you would recommend that could drive Totem Mani2s ( recommended amplifier requirement for these speakers is : 40-200W (4 ohms).- but in reality below 150-200 W does not go well)

but in reality below 150-200 W does not go well Usually when people say this, it means that the speakers require a very high current amplifier. If you are moving from the big FPB250m to a small chassis Class D amp, you are likely going to have to make some compromises in sound. I'm not saying it's going to sound bad, but none of these amps will have the current of the huge FPB250 with it's massive transformer, huge power supply and full Class A biasing. So, yes, you can probably find a small Class D that sounds good, but it is very likely not going to have the oomph and body of the FPB250. |
It's not an integrated, but the Benchmark AHB2. Without a doubt. 30 day trial. You will not be disappointed. Lowest S/N out there. Small footprint. https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-ahb2-power-amplifier |
