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.

Good Listening,

depends on price....

no price range - Halcro ( great amp but the pre is really bad)
expensive - classe cam mono's
moderate-herron & pse studio signatures
bargain of the century- pse studio v's

My favorite would be BVaudio. Top notch quality amps, 0 distortion, very 3D, nothing can compare to the detail, remote controlled with a lot of features, they don't heat up and they are priced reasonably. BVaudio is a smaller company but belongs among the best of the best.

Sonicly, The surprise answer for me was the Pass X-600's. Nuetral, effortless, sweet and extended as well as beautifull transparency. From a 600 watt amp? You bet!

If you have a chance, take a listen to a Mark Levinson 334 (Stereophile review Sept. '99). They can be had here on audiogon for $2500-$3500.
