Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?

Well, since we're all tossing out suggestions into the amplifier gene pool, I will suggest the Moscode 401HR. Outstanding amplifier that can change it's sound with some very simple tube changes.

However, I have no clue if it would be appropriate for the OP, since he has not mentioned what speakers he is using.

TVAD,
Sorry it took a little long to respond.
MY room is 15 x 19 with coffered 8 ft. ceilings on the front wall (speaker side) and on the back wall (behind the listening chair). The sensitivity of my speakers is 89 db, and I listen at levels that average around 90-93db. In addition my room is lovingly treaated with ASC products and Acousticmac products (it's a great sounding room...even if I say so myself).

Sidssp,

Yes, I still have the VR4's (still great speakers...after all this time together!). I've done a lot of work though on the room, by adding room treatment. Don't know why I waited so long to do it!

Sidssp,

Sorry, didn't answer your question. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 300-500 watts (big Levinson, Cary 500MD, big Clayton maybe?).

Lapierre,

That conditioner is a Running Springs Audio, Jaco. If anything, after I inserted into the system, everything was better......period. No and's, if's, or but's!
