Recommendations for "pure class a" amp under 1K
The Pass Aleph 3,at only 30wpc plays much louder than one would expect.In fact, with speakers ~89 db or higher and 8ohm it rocks!I found the bass to have a very natural sound and gives decent slam.IMO its the very best bargain in audio.

Yes Joe,its the Houston amp on auction I am looking at.I know of their reliability issues and have no customer support.But if I can get it for $300 it may be worth it.Any thoughts on rolling the dice with the Houston? 
Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this?
I heard the Salons run by a pair of big B.A.T. amps at Sound Concept in Rochester,N.Y.I thought they sounded very good but for the cost,I should have been blown away.I wasnt.We have to remember though,audio demo rooms in many cases, are not as wel...
