Hi guys,
I'm getting serious here about a new 2 channel amp. My speakers are AAD2001 monitors, 86db sen. I came across the Van Alstine web site (avahifi.com) and found it pretty interesting. It seems like the owner, Frank has been designing & building top notch gear for quite some time. I've read many great reviews on his products. He seems like a real no B.S. type of guy. I talked to Frank directly & he recommends his OmegaStar 440EX amp to fit my needs. It is rated at 220x2. It almost seems too inexpensive @ $1499. On the flip side I've also been eyeing a McIntosh MC252 which is 250X2 & around $3800. Any one here ever had one of Frank's amps & if so how was it. In comparison is the Mac delivering $2300 more in performance? I'm also open to suggestions on amps you guys can recommend. The amp will be used in both HT & 2 channel. Thanks
