Vote for best US made solid state amp

I just meant that my KAV-250a was the best for the money ($2100 used) that I've heard, NOT that it was the best in the world! The Clayton monoblocks probably are better, if you don't need 500 watts/channel into 4 ohms. I'd like to hear the Claytons, and also the Wolcott tube amps, sometime. I would want to compare the Wolcotts in particular to the FPB 350 monoblocks. And please continue your bellyaching about me, there's not nearly enough of that going on already...

DOS EQUIS XX! I vote for! Quote:Crafted by a German brewmaster in Mexico in 1897...Unquote! Ok it is German, but you asked the best....ooops this is wrong "tread"!

Not sure what the best amp is. I wonder if anyone has done any double blind tests with the system set up to provide identical sound levels? I suspect that amps with similar noise floors and rated outputs will sound the same.

Jeff Rowland with out a doubt. I have owned 4 different Rowland amps over the last 11 years and nothing i have heard touches them. I have taken home for weeks Reference Levinsons, Krells and even the Boulder and the FM Accoustics super expensive amps. The back up on the rare occasion in which it was needed was superb.

For my money, my B&K ST 1400 II is the tops. I can't afford stuff from McIntosh and Sunfire. But the B&K is sweet and for the money, it's fantastic.
