Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?

I think SP uses Belles amps to voice their speakers.

After owning several Belles amps and others mentioned here, I must tell you one amp stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Get a trl D225 stereo amp as it is the best amp for your speakers. I can say with 100% confidence you will not find any amp under $6000 that sounds as good.

Amazing amp that breaks through the sound ceiling I thought all home stereo was under. After owning and hearing amps in my reference costing up to $14,000 the trl was a complete revelation.

I know I sound over the top, but after just a few minutes with this amp you will experience what I know.

I was wrong about Belles and SP speakers. I was thinking of another speaker company - Source Technology.

Sorry

The problem with buying a TRL amplifier is that it's virtually impossible for a customer to hear one before buying it, and there are virtually none available on the used market to allow a "Buy-It-And-Try-It" approach.

Now, I know the response to my comment is going to be that once you hear a TRL amp you'll love it, or that no one who has ever bought a TRL amp has sold it.

It still is an issue that a potential TRL customer must confront, and it's an issue that's not unique to TRL either.

I guess I have a barrier to buying on faith alone.

Tvad,

I understand. Wonder if Paul offers a trial period? I don't know. The few owners I know all share my "over the top" comments and shock over this amp.

My understanding from another owner who has posted in the threads is that TRL does not offer a trial period.

However, I have not asked this of Paul, so the info is second hand.
