Fastest high-current SS amp below $1000 used?

The Sim Audio W-5 is a fast sounding amp and has great bass control for your slow woofers. Under $1000 try on of the McCOrmack DNA-1s.

Happy Listening.

Probably some digital amp. Their output transistors (high speed switching fets) go full on to full off at about 500KHz. I really like the sound of my CarverPro ZR1600, but I would not give slew rate all the credit.

The following slew rates (in Volts/micro-seconds) are from the Sound and Vision 2002 Buyer's guide:
and some are in your price range list price given

Parasound HCA-1000A (130) $650

Hope this helps, probably not
