I have the latest version of the Herron M150 monos. They are terrific amps and run cool. They won't wow anyone with their looks - chassis is very plain, black and small - but they are highly musical, powerful little guys. They are solid state, but they do retain many of the virtues of tube amps. There are rave reviews at Enjoy the Music. Used about 2400-2700.
Any suggestions on coolest running monoblocks?
I am looking to upgrade my system with monoblocks in 40W-200W and $1k-$4k price range (used). Would like opinions on best sounding but coolest running amps since my room becomes unbearable after 3 hours of listing to my tube integrated. Must have balanced inputs. Is ss the only way for me to go? Thanks.
