GamuT SS amps are outstanding. The Mk. 3 series, 100W, or 200W,(two mono on same chassi) and 250W mono blocks. All have same refined signature. Just depends on speaker power requirement. Amps are high current. The secret to these amplifiers is only one giant switching MOSFET output device per channel. No matching problems. There are many excellent reviews on these amps. Some think they are state of the art. I have the D-100 Mk3 which I love (3500 new). I have plenty of head room with 88 DB dynamic speakers. These amps run very cool. I had the Pass Aleph 5 before, a pure class A amp which was excellent, but not as good as the GamuT and ran much hotter.
Favorite SS Amp?
And the search continues. I am always looking for better. I currently have a pair of Dali Euphonia MS-4's which I love. I am using a Sherbourn 7/2100 which is a fine amp but not exactly what I am looking for. Ideally I am looking to go back to just 2 channel. Based on size and WAF constraints, I am limited to a stereo amp that will be in a cabinet so heat will be a consideration, although the bottom shelf could conceivably have 5-6 inches above it for heat dissipation if I went to a Class A amplifier. Budget is a consideration. Really not looking to spend much over 3-4K used. High current and respectable power would be a plus. Sonic signature is very important and big soundstage as well. Thanks in advance for all of your good input.
