As good as those ML2s were in their day, a new Pass XA25 has a similar performance without the need to use that much iron. But that aside, I find the 800 watt power consumption and 300 wpc Class A a bit inconsistent unless the design is similar to the Krell so called sliding bias or something along those lines. Otherwise, something more like ~2500+ watts is more realistic which I believe is the point George is trying to make.
Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts?
What are the best options in Pure Class A amps above at least 100 watts in 8 ohms? The ones I know of are:
1) Pass Labs XA100.5
2) Pass Labs XA100.8 (and above)
3) Accuphase A-200
4) Soulution 530
Any others? Im trying to keep it under $10K, which the first two options can be had for used.
