Threshold Amps


If threshold amps are as good as their reputation why did they go out of business? Is it risky to buy because of repair costs? Is there something comparable on the market?

Chances are you would never have to repair one. I have a 19 year old Stasis III which has worked perfectly since I purchased it. As for Nelson Pass, he continues to make products under the Pass Labs name. My guess is that he wanted to go out on his own.
If you get a problem free Threshold amp in my opinion,for solid state they are one of the best sounding amps around.It's too bad they went out of buisness.I had a S-200 power amp and boy do I miss it.The only reason why i sold it was to get my hands on a Conrad Johnson.Thresholds are very realible and there are still folks out there fixing them and keeping them playing.Good Luck.
This April's issue of Stereophile, under Industry Update; their is a little excerpt about Threshold. They are back in business in Texas, to do all the service and upgrades on Threshold gear. Also, possible may have new product down the road. Plus Jon Soderberg is an independent sevice guy that was with Threshold for many years and is excellent if you ever need a Threshold piece upgraded or serviced. Threshold gear is built like tanks and it's highly unlikely you'll ever need repair. But if you do, now their are no worries with trained experts to service.
