what are some of the best amplifiers


I have owned many amplifiers over time. Some were high priced and some were not. My latest finding is a pair of Forte model 7 monoblocks reworked by John Sodderberg. These are very magical amplifiers after 1/2 hour of warm up. The midrange is the best I've heard. Full bodied yet detailed. There is a mystical ring of air and depth that has to be heard to be believed. I have owned Threshold amplifiers(Fortes maker) and feel that the less expensive Fortes(4a and 7's), even in stock form, outperform the Thresholds. I think less is more!

If your the sort that don't feel it is necessary to spend $25K on an amplifier for comfort that you have great sound then value for money in power SS gear is Bryston, IMHO.

Reliability and Watts per dollar = Value and with the added bonus of being able to cook an egg on top ;-)

BTW I like the Honda Accord too but I understand that it will not turn as many heads as an S600....it depends on one's view on best!
