For solid state, if I had the scratch, I'd go with Naim S1's. But then, that's because I am a Naim guy. There's a Parasound guy on this thread. More power to hm, so to speak. Parasound has never sounded good to me personally, though, and that's what matters, what it sounds like to you, the individual. At a certain point, subjectivity kicks in, and that's all there is left to it. Thus, there is no one amp.

Is there one amplifier that everyone can agree on as a contemporary standard? An amplifier that can be considered a standard in both the studio and in a home stereo setup?
What one amplifier does everything very well and can be found in homes and in professional audio engineering environments?
What amp covers all the bases and gives you a glimpse into all qualities of fine musical reproduction?
...something Yamaha? ...something McIntosh?
