Vote for best US made solid state amp

Well as farest current amps go I must say Jeff Rowland model 12 rules....second best Pass X-350 then perhaps small Rowland model 10....try them and let me know what you think... GOOD LUCK

Clayton, Pass, Rowland, in that order. Worldwide, I might add Plinius in the top three. All others are too hard or unmusical. Esp. Krell, Boulder, and Threshold.

nothing is close to a Spectral 360 in a balanced mode /MIT EVO and DMC-20. The best in the world Olivier

Wo...Wo..Woh! Fellow audiophiles, don't you think you have to tell us your complete equipment list. Don't get me wrong, all SSAmps mentioned are all great stuff for any price. But the amp is only one vital link in any audiophile's dream system; please tell us the rest of the system & price, some did. I need to know before decide a first step into hi-end (deep end?)audio. Thanks to all, phil.

TO PHIL "ICERAVEN": I say Krell makes the best amps (and I'm NOT ALONE), but I'm not sure which model is the best price/performance value (if there's no limit on the money spent)...not that Brian cared to be that specific in his original question...YOU SEEM TO BE TAKING AN AWFULLY LONG TIME TO DECIDE, SINCE THIS POST IS A YEAR OLD. You have to try for yourself, because there'll never be concensus. JUST TAKE THE PLUNGE, AND STOP LOOKING FOR APPROVAL FROM STRANGERS ALREADY!! I mean, these discussion forums work for specific system aspects, BUT ASKING TO SUGGEST AN ENTIRE SYSTEM IS JUST PLAIN SILLY AND WRONGMINDED! It'll always be a subjective decision by the individual who'll be using the system, and if he's a real audiophile, HE'LL NEVER BE TOTALLY SATISFIED ANYWAY! That's what the hobby is about, THE JOURNEY TO THE MUSIC, not the destination. That's pretty much what ALL HOBBIES are about, "the process". GUYS WHO LOOK TO THEIR DEALERS OR BUDDIES FOR APPROVAL, ESPECIALLY TO SUGGEST AN ENTIRE SYSTEM, ARE TOTAL WUSSES! Use your own ears, or you'll never be happy. I SHOULD POST THE QUESTION: "Is it important to listen to your system, and make your own decisions?" That's about as intelligent as asking what the best solid state amp is...
