Rtilden, re-read Dragon_vibe's post, the Coda 15.0 only runs in Class A bias up to 100 wpc. The 33.0 that you recommend next only runs in Class A bias up to 15 wpc. He was using the Clayton Audio M-300's, which were 300 wpc of pure Class A power. Coda doesn't have a model that does that. I don't know of any other amp that provides this much Class A power, but I do understand his desire to stay with a pure Class A amplifier. Pass Labs XA200.5 puts out 200 wpc in pure Class A, that is the most that I know of.
FWIW, I do enjoy Coda as well, I am using a Model 11 amp, 100 wpc of pure Class A power is plenty for my application.
