Please Help Solid State Amps ?


Hello Audiogoners,

I am in desperate need of advise! I am in need of Solid State amplification for a pair of Magnepans. The problem is I have been in TUBE LAND my whole audio life and I am clueless as to what there is available. I would prefer something in the realm of 200W MONOS but STEREO will also suffice. I am interested in both OLD or NEW, readily available or esoteric and most of all QUALITY! I thank you for your time and consideration.

My best,

Mark

Hi Mark; I could write a couple of pages about the virtues of the McCormack DNA-2DX, the Rev. A, and a pair of Rev. A's by SMc, but they've pretty well been covered by the reviews posted by Mikec above.

These are seriously powerful, smooth, refined amplifiers. I just had a pair up-graded to Rev. A for bi-amping, and they really are fantastic amps-- 300 wpc 8 Ohms, 600 wpc 4 Ohms, and 1200 wpc 2 Ohms. A used DNA-2 should be available for around $2500., and Rev. A is $2500. Good Hunting. Craig.
