| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? @rsf507,”anything but Mac”. I’m confused, is it you or the OP who is buying? If it’s the OP then you do him/her a big disservice by stating that. The person should try to look at all brands in his price range. Just because you don’t like Mac do... | |

| classe twenty five and classe fifteen Jeez, the Model 10 amp was 120wpc, the 15 was 175wpc and the 25 was 250wpc. Taken directly from the specs in the owners manuals. These are all into 8 ohms. At 4 ohms they doubled their power. I owned both the 10 and 15. The 10 sounded better ... | |

| Amp to drive Verdant Nightshade 1 You could also look at T & A, they make integrateds which have gotten excellent reviews. They may be pricey however. | |
