Best amp for 5k used? SS or Tube
Hi I am looking for a new amp for around 5k used. You can view my current system here: http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs_user.pl?vevol&1020195264
Any comments on any of the following amps would be helpful. Also, any new suggestions or advice would be welcome as well. I think an amp with at least 150 watts in 8 ohms is ideal for solid state. As for tube I don’t think it makes difference as long as it can go up to 105 db.
My main choices are:
Edge NL 10 – the best choice I think
LAMM M1.1 monos
Gamut 250 monos
A Rowland amp … not sure which one
BAT VK – 1000
PASS X-250 (sounds the same as the 350 on my speakers)
Bel Canto EVO Monos
Tube amps are possible too as my speakers are about 94 db efficient. But SS is preferable because I don’t want to deal with the tube hassle. Comments are welcome. Thanks in advance for all who help.
