Plinius SA-100 MkIII makes me happy. Very warm detailed sound, great bass. SOUNDS BETTER IN CLASS A MODE, but I also believe you shouldn't limit yourself to class A. I'm looking to experiment with a good tube amp when life settles down a bit. The Cary 805c is supposed to sound good w/ my speakers as well(Silverline SonataII-which I adore).
Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions
What is your favorite class A amp and why? There are many here on Audiogon... Levinson, Krell, Pass Labs, Plinius and an occaisional Accuphase A50V. I am driving Proac Response 3.8s (88dB efficiency). I recently auditioned a Pass Aleph 5 and was stunned by the presentation at only 60wpc.
