Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Power Amp Choice - NAD C272 or Sunfire ?

I need/want/crave an additional stereo Amp for the M80's. Currently, I am using a used Sunfire borrowed from a friendly dealer. The Amp is a 1995 Sunfire with 300x2 channels.

It sounds very nice, but I have concerns about the reliability of a 10 years old amp. The Amp does not have an off switch and is apparently designed to be ON all the time.

The other option would be to return the Sunfire and go for a C272. Unfortunately, I cannot demo the C272.

I am seeking advice on which one to go for, the 10 years old Sunfire or a brand new C272. Cost will be roughly the same.

What happened in the last 10 years in the Amp world, any improvements at all ?
