used power amp under 1500

For the $1500 price I would recommend a Threshold400a.  I know that is an old unit, but it can compete with any thing in that price range.  I have have one for over a dozen years without lick of trouble.  It will drive just a bout anything with clean highs and some warm that remind you of tubes with a relax sound you can listen to all day.

The Threshold 400a was produced in 1977 - 1979. Basically one of Nelson Pass’s first designs. Make sure it has been reconditioned. The capacitors nearly fifty years old are not going to sound very good. I sold my early 1980’s Threshold Stasis 500 about 20 years ago and had Pass recondition it before the sale. It made a huge difference in the sound.

The Musical Fidelity A308 has a stout spec sheet! Well done, as that's what the Dynaudios seem to like best overall. 

I do notice that the A308 offers preamp output, so if you get the need to try other power amplification, there it is. Just kidding, but it's part of the pastime.

@parkergetdean ,

Making any progress?
