Considering A SS amplifier


Currently have a PS Audio BHK 250 Signature, but am finding tubes really aren’t my thing, even just a small pair of them. Currently have some Telefnken 6922 in there, have had Siemens 6922 gold pins also.

Considering either a Maker G7 or a pair of AVM Essential Monoblocks. Can’t listen to either before purchase, so its going to be an experiment. Yes both are off the used market. 

Pre amp is a Halcro DM8.

Anyone have any experiences with either of these?

neonknight~I get what you're saying.  The people who say that cables, and esp speaker cables, make no difference are people who've only had one brand/line...it's crazy how much difference they make!  And [as so many other things w/this hobby], what sort of synergy they have with your system, and esp the amp[s] and speakers, for obvious reasons.  I have 4 brands at my house now, from cheap to "more than I want to admit", and the one that I settled on is nearly the least expensive...they are MAGIC in my setup, while the others sound either muddy [the cheapest] or bright [the most expensive] or OK but where did the detail go? [next to the most expensive].  So, I totally get your "crazy hobby" line...If you want to know the brand of the ones that won out, let me know.  If anyone wants to know if all 4 sets have exactly the same burn-in time, and are exactly the same length, don't bother...the final arbitror is not someone who is trying to pick holes in my process or statements, it's my ears ~ when you get something that works, and I mean REALLY works, in your system, you know it.
