Got the "change" bug.   Been running a Moscode 300 amp for 30 years, but never forgot my experience with a Bedini 150 power amp from the same era.   Once warmed up massed strings were amazing!

Now I've stumbled on a Bedini 150 Mark II at a decent price, and also found an affordable BAT VK-200 amp for not a lot more money.  Would use one or the other push the HF/mid panels on Maggie 20.1s.  Can't take advantage of an all-balanced system 'cause outboard crossover is RCA only.  Wouldn't rule out reinstalling the Maggie Xovers and bi-amping that way.

Listen to large orchestral works, folk, singer/songwriter, Broadway, rock, some jazz, anything but country and rap.  Like deep, wide soundstage yet want the subtle details in the music, and tend to listen loud.

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!

I've read great things about Bedini, but what scares me from them is lack of info and possible lack of serviceability.

Changed my mind, won't be buying a new/used amp after all.

Finally tracked down what I thought was an amp issue.  Was a Xover problem after all, and after adding the W4S DAC the Moscode was extremely sweet and smooth on strings, depth was amazing, and as the saying goes, I heard a LOT more info on familiar CDs.
Can't wait to try it on vinyl!   

Thanks for the PMs and responses!  Learned a lot!
