Summary:
I just got the ssp 50 used today. Mating it with a classe CAV 75 bridged for 3 channels and a classe CA 150. Sources are from a SONY DVP 7000 and Theta Data Basic II and pro prime 2a dac. Using B&W Nautilus HTM and B&W CDM1's and B&W MATRIX 802 S3's. Whew, the sound was awesome. Bass response was very good without even a subwoofer. Everyting sounded great on this preamp!!!!!
