After reading
this review of the Halo A21, I was sold. Not only was he using my M-3SIs as test spks, but he also compared it with a Citation 7.1, I have a Citation 5.1, (both the 5.1 & 7.1 give more watts @ 6 ohms than the M3s are rated for, 400-500 range). The comments he made about the 7.1 are exactly how I feel about my 5.1. The qualities the reviewer described of the Halo are just what I am looking for.
That being said, if I tell my wife I want to spen over $2k on an amp, the next call she would make is to a lawyer
I was Googling a LOT about amps that compair with the A21, that I might be able to find used for less. The two amps I came up with are the Aragon 8008BB/8008MKII or the Bryston 4B-SST (or maybe the 4B-ST). After reading dozens of reviews of these amps, It sounds like they have that same level of quality (sound stage, detail, imaging) as the Halo (the 4B-SST maybe a half step above).
What can anyone tell me about these, The 4B-ST is a step down from the SST, but maybe still be as good as the others. I guess I am interested in if you agree that these are all as good as each other, and if so what one do you think I will find the best deal on.
Thanks,
Brad
