No contest---get the Electro from Sedond above--a beautiful sweet and musical Amp and only $800 !

Classe 200 or higher up the line I've been using for aboutn 4 years now - hard to beat the performance and power for the $$$.

I will have to also give a nod to the electro above from sedond.I sold my aw120 a while back and regret it to this day.Electrocompaniet amps are sweet,detailed and have more current then any of the above mentioned amps and produce a wonderful soundstage.

You owe it to yourself to listen to a Audio Research 100.2 SS amp. I have owned a Bryston 4b NRB and the 100.2 totally blows it away in my opinion. The 100.2 has all the smooth non fatiging sound of a great tube amp without the hassles. It is a real sleeper in the ARC line of amps. Check out the post under amps/preamps "Audio Research convert". I have spoken to Gary and he replaced his Ayre V3 with a ARC 100.2. Read what he has to say. You wont't find many of these on the used market because people hang onto them, but they are worth the money.

Look into a Odyssey Stratos for $1100. with the 120,00 cap upgrade. You won't be disappointed!
