Re: Out of the game for years and in need of a new amp for my SDA SRS speakers.
If sticker shock is not your bag but you want big, clean power at an affordable price, New Audio Dimensions (NAD) has a few amplifiers and integrated amplifiers that I have had great success with when powering SDAs. I'd put them on par with the Parasound amps that others are talking about.
The NAD C399 integrated everyone seems to love and it packs a big punch at 180 watts per channel and has a pretty good integrated DAC too.

And if you just want an amplifier the NAD C298 puts out 185 watts per channel of grunt and it'll happily drive your heaviest loads all day long without complaint. It's capable of handling any of the SDA models too.

Every NAD I've ever used punches above it's weight class and they are good value for the money. They pair well with SDAs too as I've heard them on my SDA 2Bs, a pair of CRS+, SRS 2.3TLs
You can pick up good NAD used/vintage gear that is going to be just as solid as their new gear too and the used market can make getting a high dollar piece of gear much more affordable.

Re: Mark Levinson 331 amplifier repair.
Great thread!
Nothing says high end like a Harbor Freight dolly in the system.
