The Pass Labs Xseries or if you can wait a little for the Pass Labs XA which consumates the famous class A Aleph with the X. I'm not a dealer either. An amateur amp builder talked me into a purchase of an X. Its the first solid state that a tubular like me can stand. Absolutely no ear offending ss nasties.
Best Amp for under 10K?
I'm building a new system and have been away from the audio world for a long time.
So far I've purchased the Sonus Amiti Homage and Sonus Cremona speakers.
I've also purchased the VTL TL 5.5 pre amp, an Aerial Acoustic SW-12 subwoofer and the Transparent cables.
Now I need to select the best amp for the system.
I've been looking at the VTL MB 450, the Levinson No 336, a pair of the Bel Canto EVO 200.2 and the Classe Cam 350.
All opinions and recommendations are welcome.
