I have owned an SA-200 since 1979 connected to two Bose 301 speakers, older ones with a nice woofer and a tweeter with a little thing to kind of direct the tweeter output. My high school physics teacher explained about quality of output, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), being more important than watts per channel. He was right. A modest watts per channel with low THD is way cleaner and enjoyable to listen to compared to, say, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD.
Although this model is "only" 25 watts per channel, the THD is like 0.04%, ridiculously low. The sound is so clean. Raise the volume and the quality remains, no distortion that I can hear. I have tried matching the SA-200 with other speakers, but nothing seems to beat the combination of the SA-200 and Bose 301's.
I recently lost one channel in my SA-200 and my stereo expert said to look for a new one. I was patient and found a nice used one on the Internet. But I will not get rid of the damaged one, even with only one working channel. Proud owner of an SA-200!
