Bedini 25/25 1 meg

@jjss49  Thanks for the info, just read that thread you linked, very helpful. Also seems that the listing price at $1800 for a bedini 25/25 is a bit higher than normal. I would probably hold on to my curiosity and wait to see if a bel 1001 or forte model 4a pops up in the future. Thanks!

That's a high price to pay! I bought a Bedini 150/150 for less than 1/3 of that! I recommend waiting until a Bedini amp becomes available for under a grand! One with more power than the 25/25 would be more suitable for your speakers.

@roberjerman thanks for the suggestions, will do! 

Have you ever heard a Bedini amplifier? I ask because Bedini amps have a unique sound (IMO) that is not for everyone. When I purchased my first pair of Shahinian Obelisks some years ago I was advised to drive them with a Bedini 45/45 or 100/100. I tried a pair of the latter - not my cup of tea. But lots of other folks love them. I will agree with jjss49 that these are older Class A amps, which means by default that they were rode hard and put away wet.

My advise: try before you buy and make sure that you factor the cost of a rebuild into your purchase price.

I am not trying to talk you out of buying a Bedini amp. Just make sure that you understand what you are getting into. I think it's essential that you listen to any amp with your speakers and other gear before committing. Unless you can flip this piece of gear without a substantial loss if you don't like it.

@br3098  Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the great advice.
