Satie:
I hear what you're saying. This model was used extensively in movie theaters as well as for PA systems. It came from an estate and was part of recording studio. If there was any stereo gear, it must have been sold prior and the only speakers were near field monitors. Again, it was a toss in to make the deal happen on a couple of guitars.
You are right, it drives the 2.5's with relative ease, but so do the Marantz's, just not to live concert levels. Alas, I don't listen to music at live levels that much anymore, but it is nice to have an amp that can when the need calls.
I might have a different opinion of both the Bryston and Parasound if I tried them with the 2.5's as there is no way the BGW is in the same league or maybe it is.
