How would you rate these 2 Channel amps


Hi,
In which order would you rate the following amps from the era of pure HiFi before Home Theatre's advent,
Krell, Accuphase, Mark Levison, McIntosh,Counterpoint, Luxman,Hafler, you can add any in the top ten that I may have missed, also please give your opionions on thier preamps.
I am basically talking about solid state stereo amplifiers not Tube amps.
Thank you,

I agree on the Levinsons (golden era). Today's McIntosh amps are pretty darn nice. I was fairly blown away by a pair of MC501's last weekend at the dealer.
A close cousin of the Sanders amp... I'm currently using an Innersound ESL amp with my Magneplanars. It was the predecessor to the Roger Sanders' current amp, and shares many similarities, including case & construction. Recommended!

Very clean & powerful. I use an Audible Illusions pre with mine.
