Best high current SS Mono amps


I am searching for the best SS amp for 4 ohm electrostat speakers. I would consider tube monos, but I just can not take any buzzing or humming those tube amps have from time to time. I have a very quiet room and often play at low volumes.

Please help me out with your thoughts. I have spent a lot of time on the archives and I just can't tell what to buy. I would like to spend no more than 11,000 used on some balanced monoblocks with high current.

If there is a dead quiet tube amp that fits the bill, please mention it.

You both have great systems! I will consider your advice!

I use Martin Logan clsIIz using granite audio 555 PC with Nordost Valhalla and a pair of Descents using BMI shark PC and straightwire crescendo xlr's. There are two Sound Application linestages for conditioning. There are several 30 amp circuits with the Albert Porter outlets. I do listen at low volumes, but I might just play loudly once in a while.

Pass (and maybe Wolcott) were on my personal short list, but I didn't know the Pass was a high current amp.

I really want to avoid buying an amp that won't work well with that speaker!
This is the kind of response I hoped for! It seems that every contributor has had lots of experience, equipment and knowledge! I am really pleased and I know that I am headed in the right direction.

To help answer Dave-b: I have everything sitting on Aurios 1.2 or pros. Almost everything is sitting on a Symposium shelf too, from Ultras to sveltes. I am using Quattro-fil xlrs from preamp to amp. I mix up the King Cobra V2, BMI shark, and several Elrod sig 3 power cords throughout. I was told by a good friend (a real tolerant friend who loves SET tubes and horns) that the groundwork is done and instead of a big plasma TV, the amp has to be upgraded.

If anyone has anything more to contribute, please do so! You are the coolest guys on the planet! I am not going to waste my money this time! Thank you!
