Please recommend a high-powered SS amp

Khwarezm,

Ah,now I get it .Certainly SET is out of question....

With Proac,I always find that Bryston[especially the 4bsst]give the best match.What you need is high current amp.....

Hope that help.

Khawarezm,

I rally do not understand your approach at all.Not all power is the same.A 2l Hyundai is not the same as a 2 L Mercedes{I am talking about cars here,the same goes with hi-fi;I do not like the number game,neither should you IMHO].If you want the power to show off,why not look for class D amp,plenty of cheap power around.

tell us your set up,maybe what you need is a 6 watts of SET magic

.....And try to control the resonance of your speakers and electronics with resonator-type feet like Finite-elemente/Harmonix tuning feet.You would be surprised at how wide and deep the soundstage suddenly becomes.

And lastly,I recommend looking at the speaker positioning..You would be amazed at how easy it is really,to fill up even large room once the speaker resonance is sorted out..

good luck

khawarezm,

Check out finite elemente[from Germany]/harmonix tuning feet [from Japan] to see further insights on the wonder of resonance control of your speaker cabinets/equipments.

I suggest you get these first.I often wonder why people don't use them;the effects to me are more than changing power cords and interconnects.

It is funny to see than most people ,even at entry level ,would not use the stock power cord for their electronics.Yet,when it comes to speakers,even the most seasoned audiophiles would carry on listening to their speakers with the stock feet/spikes/platforms.Amazing!!!!

I suggest you try the Finite elemente cerapucs,since your sp are quite light.Do not upgrade your amp yet,try this first,you would be surprised at how good your speakers really are,and how much money you have wasted in the past on unnecessary upgrades....Don't forget to buy me dinner though..
