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.

Your input is much appreciated!

I run 87db speakers @ 8ohms in a room 16x26x8 and rarely measure 90db @ 1m. The amp sounds exceptionally well in my system and will fill the room with enough volume to hear it outside (4 sound room walls are insulated with r12 with r20 behind that on three walls and cement foundation walls on three walls and the ceiling is r12 with a sound barrier utilized between it and the subfloor above.

I couldn't justify the ML 33H price and am satisfied that the 5 is a greater value and a near equal performer!
