For a solid state selection, my vote is the Maker Audio NL 14+ mono blocks. A very muscular 325 watts into 8 ohms and 54 amps of constant current can really put a grip on speakers.
http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0314/maker_audio_nl14_plus_amplifier.htm. Designed by Tom Maker (formerly of Edge Audio fame) and now as Maker Audio. Very high end gear that can be had fairly reasonably on the used market.
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Hello everyone,
When I think of Power Amps (or integrated amps) that play / sound way beyond their price-point and can be non-household names, I think of companies like:
- Belles (Power Modules)
- McCormack
- Coda
Can you guys please suggest other Power Amps / Companies that are also somewhat unknown or of great value?
Your suggestions would really help me and others. Thanks!
Matt
