These are the best Solid State Amps

Threshold SA/1's (Mono-Blocks). Nelson Pass's masterpiece while at Threshold in his prime of designing.

Snooker, if you have a local ML dealer, why not take one home and try it? Other than the hospital bills to repair your strained back and the cuts you will get from the heatsinks, it is cheap entertainment.

I know for a fact that the 335 is better than all the listed amps. good luck I have one and love it

Bruce 1483: a local ML dealer would be great, but not here in central Vermont.

Hey Snooker14:

What do you feel you're missing with the Classe 401?
That's a great amp! 334-336 are good as well but you may find a tad too polite for your liking. Classe 01 series were (are) great all around performers.
