Thank Audphile1 for your comments.

Electra 1027Be are my speakers. I choose it 'cos my room is too small and it's good mate for my room.
I love rock music but also love in mid and treble sounds like utopia or electra Be lines.

I want more comment about best amps for rock its!!.
My budget is about 10-15k
Now I run electra with denon AVR (130 wpc).

Thanks

I'm also interest in Mcintosh MC 501. It's too sexy.
However, I read some review of this amp. Bass is fullness but response is slightly slow?
Audiokinesis, Audphile1 and all friends in this forum , thank for your suggestions.

I understand about record quality of most of heavy metal bands. It's very difficult to recorded louder and faster music (with small amount of money from back up company); Sad But True for metal throng.

About my speakers; I choose Electra 1027BE 'cos I love model, sound and it suitable for placed in my small room (without any room acoustic problem). If i have larger listening room, Diva/Alto Be or large JBL project (K2 project Be) may be my choice.

About amps; I'm interest in Mcintosh Mc501, Mark levinson model 432, Krell FBx400 or accuphase P7000/7100.
what's you (and other friend in this forum) think about these amps?

Thank for more replies
Thank Jim for your opinion about ML 3 and 4 series

My experience with Levinson 432 and thiel CS2.4 in dealer showroom is good (not best). Probably from thiel speakers is not design for rock music (IMO)?

I'll try some more with levinson series 3 next week.
Again, Thank Duke
In my list, accuphase place in the top position. Local dealer tole me about new P7100 coming soon, in this new year. *It's my first choice.*

Accuphase is more musical than other amps (IMO). However it provide less power than other amps (such as Mcintosh). I'm worry about bass control.
