anyone know this amp?? i know its really a home theater class d amp but i want to use it for 2 channel temporarily. its 250w at 8 ohms.
basically i been trying to get a steelhead for sometime and i might have a deal where i trade my snappers and my hovland pre in for a steelhead, the new rc model and a rotel amp. the amp i dont really care about and once i replace it i can use it and my veneres for home theater down the road .the steelhead can be used as my preamp for now. by the end of summer my plan is to have new amps,pre and phonostage. this would take care of the phonostage part. and id get the piece ive been wanting for 10 years!!!
of course the asking price value of my equip used is a little more than the value of the equip id be trading for, but its through a dealer and he has to make his money.
any help would be much appreciated.
 
nobody?? oh well things change in a hurry around here, im no longer going to trade for this amp just the steelhead and find something else to buy.
 
Bob ? Where r u?

What is your plan Steve ? Are you changing all the gears ?
well i sold my hovland pre, for a pretty good price, and im in a deal to trade my snappers for a steelhead(plus cash) which is my dream phonostage. so my front end is exactly where i want it to be. but then i need to find an amp and $2k is all i have left since im doing this for $0 out of pocket. the amp will be temporary for a few months, but i want a decent one that will go good with my setup. then by summertime id buy another pre and after summer a nice pair of tube amps. but merrill williams/ortofon cadenza black/ steelhead will stay for along time along with my veneres. but this rotel amp was just a thought, i got my eye on some small watt tubes, but speakers are only 90db so i cant go too small.
 
I'm glad it's going to way you want to be at least. What about the JOB ? It's under $2 k and we have one for sale in AS.
 
Steve,

The Job will really complement the SF Venere speakers and the Steelhead can drive the amp direct.
 
i know the job225 is a great little amp and i heard the telos280 at Bobs that everyone said the job so closely sound like. but you guys know im a tube guy . im looking at the line magnetic el34 integrated, which retails for $1650 and from my conversations with Jeff ,he told me the steelhead does better when run through a preamp. so having an integrated would benefit me more.
whos selling a job225? did i miss something?
