RE: amps with earthy tone




You might consider a used Bryston 3B-ST (not the newer 3B-SST which sounds more neutral, IME) -- even though the RMS power output is somewhat higher than your stated goal, the 3B-ST sometimes sells around the same price as lower power output Bryston power amplifiers. Also, the Lexicon NT-212 is essentially a Bryston 3B-ST badged as the NT-212 to place within a Lexicon high-end home theater product line-up. The Lexicon NT-212 can also be found in the used marketplace at a good price. I use one for a customized stereo subwoofer system, and the Lexicon NT-212/Bryston 3B-ST provides a stellar bottom-end, and low-frequency soundstage presentation. It's said to rival all but the best in authoritative bass performance levels. I recommend fine-tuning the power amplifier with an audiophile-quality aftermarket power cord, and vibration control platform and footers. YMMV
