Hi Guys

After tracking down a used reasonably priced E.A.R V20 I phoned the store first thing this morning to purchase the amp but it was just sold

. However the sales dude informed me that an E.A.R. 859 was coming in the next few weeks used but in mint condition, I could have it for $1800 which by all means is reasonable when one considers they retail for $4.5k new here in the UK and $3.5+ in the USA. Being not that technically minded in what way does the said amp differ from the V20, more importantly is it capable of sufficently driving a pair of K1000's, moreover I have just purchased an Audio Resolution Opus 21 Rebook player does one just connect the Opus 21 to the outputs on the 859 and then does one just connect the K1000's to the outputs on the 859? Any info much appreciated.

Regards Jason
