lovemyhorns Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'm thinking about trying one of those B&K amps everybody raves about.... Are there any preferred models and/or any models that should be avoided? thanks! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I've read about lots of people using B&K but never heard about one being better than the other. I sometimes like to think the more powerful the better with some amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviserated Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Make sure you get the matching preamp with remote tone controls. You will love the warm, non fatigueing, and powerful sound this combo has to offer. ALL of your CD's will sound pleasing to your ear. Even vinyl that sounded bad with your old system will now sound dynamic and wonderful.

jpm Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 My boss bought some RF7s and went with B&K for his amp and preamp. Very nice. He has the speakers in a less than ideal location and appreciates the tone controls to enhance some weaknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I think its a good idea to try the B&K,to me they sound no better or worse than most amps of similar power/price.I have a st202(150per)and its a really good amp at the used price.If you have a good local dealer they should let you take the demo model home for a demo.
