Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?

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.

I was given a money back offer on my D-225. There was no need to take them up on it.

It is a great amp that can handle difficult speaker loads. The transparency is amazing. I think the leap of faith for me was more about the TRL house sound. Having had a TRL digital mod done to my DAC I got a taste of their house sound before I bought the amp. The question for me was how much more I could handle. It's a quite addictive sound, especially when you add more TRL components and cabling to the mix.

You don't see these amps come up used for a reason. I sold mine by word of mouth. Saving up for my next TRL project. Battery powered monoblocks.
