Conrad Johnson SS amps

I am currently looking for a new power amplifier to drive my Martin Logan CLSIIs (4ohm load). I am deciding between CJ's MF2250 and MF2500. I was wondering what the difference was between the the stock model and the "A" model. ie: MF2250 vs. MF2250A. I would also like to know if they can they be bridged? Would I get better results using two MF2250 amps or a single MF2500 amp?

Yes, this would be a consideration, unsound.

I know that it drives Eggleston loudspeakers, specifically, the WEGG 3 model.

^Even for one with an extraordinary amount of experience, the more variables, and some variables garner more weight than others, the less pertinent such auditions are.

Hey,guys;
I'm retired and can't go to $2,000+ figures for audio stuff: I'm an
old f--t and go back in audio to the early 60's.Need an SS amp with tube-like sound.  Con. Johnson 2500A,
or  2300A might be an affordable high-end provider. 

I prefer the "tube-like" (macintosh?) sound. Given my budget, can I do better elsewhere?

Welcome! broockies
if given the choice, go for the MF 2500A model. Can you tell us about the rest of your system?Happy Listening!

Why not just get a tube amp if your speakers are moderately efficient. Contrary to the popular belief, tubes are fairly inexpensive and last a long time.
