Threshold T-200 or Pass Labs Amp

Tapesh · 12th January 2005, 03:20 PM

Hi,

I have a qs. about Threshold T-200 compared to Pass Lab amps.

T-200 is Class-A till 100watts, while Pass Lab amps only go up to 32watts or so.

Does this mean replacing T-200 with x250 or x150 wont be a good idea.

I am very confused due to lack of knowledge, whether upgrading to Pass amps will make a diff. for better or worst or none

Right now my preamp is Threshold T3, cables Cardas Neutral Ref. and speakers Polk Audio LSi15 4ohms@86db.

Any opinions or suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Every Pass amplifier has a different value for Class A
operation.

I don't suggest that you pick an amplifier solely based on its
Class A power rating.
