That's a tough one, can you audition both at the same time? Simaudio makes good stuff, benefit is class A operation to 5 watts/channel. The specs are impressive for the Anthem 325. I haven't heard either, but your listen test should be your gage.
Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier
I was planning on purchasing an Anthem 325 3 channel amp to run my Paradigm 85f's and 55C center speaker. My dealer suggests buying the Sim 330A 2 channel Power amp instead. I can easily afford it if I don't buy the Lumin T2 that I was planning on purchasing and just continue with my Bluesound Node 2i for listening to Qobuz music. I respect my dealers knowledge but just want to have other opinions before I decide. Thanks

There are a ton of amps that can match or exceed the Sim gear Look at the coda.8 made in the usa 18 watts pure class a then150 watts ab killer amp at 6300 has been compared to 14k pass labs and found to be just as good The amp can be rebiased to provide 400 watts https://hometheaterreview.com/coda-technologies-continuum-no-8-stereo-amplifier/ Dave and troy Audio intellect nj Anthem and coda dealers |
@audiotroy The Coda 8 is out of my price range and I don't think my dealer carries it. Can you give me your opinion of the Anthem Gen 2 325 vs the Sim 330A. The Anthem is definitely in the right price range for me, my dealer says the Sim is way better and worth the extra money. Also the 325 is 3 amps, the Sim is two, my dealer said I am still better off with the Sim. Thanks if you can answer |
