Favorite SS Amp?

And the search continues. I am always looking for better. I currently have a pair of Dali Euphonia MS-4's which I love. I am using a Sherbourn 7/2100 which is a fine amp but not exactly what I am looking for. Ideally I am looking to go back to just 2 channel. Based on size and WAF constraints, I am limited to a stereo amp that will be in a cabinet so heat will be a consideration, although the bottom shelf could conceivably have 5-6 inches above it for heat dissipation if I went to a Class A amplifier. Budget is a consideration. Really not looking to spend much over 3-4K used. High current and respectable power would be a plus. Sonic signature is very important and big soundstage as well. Thanks in advance for all of your good input.

Good Listening,

Since you're here in Phoenix, go to Esoteric Audio in Scottsdale & hear the Rowland 201s.
Then go to Celestial on 27th Ave & Thomas Rd. They have the Pass X amps, YBA & Electrocompaniet.

Sounds like Phoenix isn't "hurting" for good sound or high quality brands : ) Sean

depends on price....

no price range - Halcro ( great amp but the pre is really bad)
expensive - classe cam mono's
moderate-herron & pse studio signatures
bargain of the century- pse studio v's

My favorite would be BVaudio. Top notch quality amps, 0 distortion, very 3D, nothing can compare to the detail, remote controlled with a lot of features, they don't heat up and they are priced reasonably. BVaudio is a smaller company but belongs among the best of the best.
