Threshold S/500 currently advertised on this site for $1400 with 250 @ 8ohms and 500 watts @ 4 ohms. Maybe I should buy it. That's a lot of amplifier for the money.
Amp suggestions please...need some power
Looking for a SS amp that can comfortably deliver 250-400+ish wpc into a 4 ohm load and can be had <$1500 (used OK). I own PSB Stratus Goldi and by comfortable I mean the sensation of doing 60 mph in a Ferrari - you ALWAYS know its there if you need it.
My system is evolving from an integrated to separates and will probably mate with a tubed pre. My media is 50/40/10 vinyl/digital/FM and I prefer a sound that is more warm than analytical but do enjoy drive and detail.
On my list -
Bryston 4Bst
Parasound Halo a21
If you have a recommendation of a synergistic, tubed preamp, I'm all ears. No phono needed, remote is nice but not mandatory - budget <$1500 (used OK).
Any and all input is appreciated.
Thanks!
