Thank you Charles! They have a US distributer Highend Electronics. Thank you for suggesting this - it is difficult to find vendors such as this using search engines.
Any options for low power class A amps?
Okay, I do most of my music listening at work because of time constraints. I have a nice desk system that includes some 4" Fostex full range speakers, an Olasonic dac, an Olasonic cd transport, and an integrated Olasonic amp/dac. I have nothing but good things to say for Olasonic however I would like to add better amplification. I am looking for a small solid state amplifier that is pure class A in the 5 to 10 watts range. The only ones that I have found have a higher power rating and are huge or are A/B amps that are biased slightly higher. I don't know if anyone makes class A amps in this power rating. If you know of any I would greatly appreciate your help. I have tried headphone amps that are pure class A that results in an improvement but the impact is not there due to power and impedance matching of speakers in comparison to headphones. The Fostex drivers I am using are 16 ohms btw. Thanks.

more watts than asked for but ... http://www.stereophile.com/content/lindell-ampx-power-amplifier#v4As2wBBqfggTmp4.97 |
Not sure your budget and I have not heard this amp but it sure sounds interesting: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-bakoon-amp-11r-tremendous-integrated-headphone-amp-201... SS and 13 wpc with a single input $1999, a good review from 6moons. |
Bakoon vs Valvet vs First Watt, this would be a very fun/interesting comparison of top quality low power SS amplifiers. All three built by very highly regarded companies. I don’t believe there's a loser in this grouping. If I ever strayed from 300b SET (I won't) this would my direction. Srajan compared the Bakoon quite favorably to the First Watt S.I.T.amplifiers, high praise! Charles, |
