Help me decide, please


Want to buy the best mono amps for around $7000 to $8000, something REALLY good.
By now, my options are:
Clayton M300
Marantz 9S2
BAT 600SE w/Bat Pak
Theta Citadel 1.5

I'll be using them with Tyler Acoustics D1 speakers.

Thanks for your help.

Well I've owned a BAT VK-600SE and a pair of Clayton Audio M100 monoblock amps. If I were choosing, I'd go with the M-300's. Wilson Shen has that *magic* touch, similar to Stan Klyne. A way to make solid state sound musical, like tubes. The only major designer I have heard hit this sweet spot was Jeff Rowland back in the mid to late 90's with his 2/6/8/9 series of amp. As always, YMMV.

This is the 4th thread you've started regarding buying a new amp in less than 3 weeks. No one is going to tell you what to buy, that is a decision that you will have to make yourself. It's your money, you have to make the final decision.
