I really don't like to come across as being ignorant when looking at amp specs but that's what Iam.What Iam trying to decide is which amp to drive the 2231A's reconed with C8R2235 kits in my 4350A's.I have read the 4350's can handle whatever you throw at them.Looking at specs and trying to understand them is like trying to read and understand a book wrote in Japanese to me.None of it makes any sense at all.Do the specs below look as though it would be a good amp.The crossover I will be using at this point will be a bryston 10B.I would like to listen to a few amps before I decide on which one I want but where do you go,the amps Iam looking at have been discontinued.Any input would be greatly appreciated.
