I've got to follow Sean's lead on this one. If you are serious that you only intend to use the amp to break in a pair of speakers, why not buy an Adcom 555? It's a decent amp, cranks out 200 wpc, and can be purchased used for around $300-350.
Highest B/B
Looking for the highest Bang for the Buck s.s. amp to break in a pair of inefficient speakers. Sonic quality is less important. Use tubes for all my listening anyway. Probably need minimum 150wpc @8ohms though ratings can be misleading. Have in mind Bryston 4B-ST. Any other choices ?
Thanks. Bob.
