I am thinking of buying a audio research 100.2 amp . I am driving monitor audio silver 8 speakers and want a nice warm sound . Is the audio research a good amp @ only 100 watts per channel , or should i step up to a parasound a21 ?
The early transistor ARC amps were dogs.....I wouldn't touch it. Grainy, no depth, no air, no good. The one you're speaking of may be different, but the one I know was not a good amp.
+1 @stringreen .....I agree. I owned the ARC 100.2 and although it was quite good in the day, I think it resting on its laurels now and has a nostalgia attached to it. There are better amps out there now IMHO. Ayre, Belles, Blue Circle to name a few. That being said, I've always liked their preamps and tube integrateds. Regards.....
