New Classe Delta, 12W in class A for stereo amp (30W for monoblocks I believe) sweetness, more dynamic, details and bass solidity than the tube-based ARC Reference setup it replaces without sacrificing on mid-range. There's a very thin line between the best tube offerings and the best SS ones at this price point.
100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids
Quad 909 back in the day had a reputation for the best mids running up to $5000. I've used it in the past and I would definitely say that the mids were the highlight on that amp. It wasn't overly coloured, a hint of warmth, but it had a purity and sweetness to its mids. Unfortunately, mostly everything else was okay at best, kind of rolled off at both ends and congested stage-wise.
I'm looking for that same purity and sweetness without sacrificing the rest of the sonic traits. What have been your guys' contenders for 100W+ solid state power amps with the best mids?
