SST Son of Ampzilla ll power amp vs Classe Sigma Amp2 power amp


Hi all,

I'm currently using the Classe Sigma Amp2 (class D amp) to drive my Monitor Audio Gold 200 5G (5th gen aka latest gen) speakers. My preamp is Classe CP800. I have the Cary Audio CD306 SACD player as my source component & DAC. I've been using the Classe Sigma Amp2 for almost 4 years now and been liking it.

I'm thinking to get rid of my Classe Sigma Amp2 (class Damp) and get the SST Son of Ampzilla ll amp (class AB with the first 10 watts biased into class A @ 8 ohms). Anyone here has used this SST Son of Ampzilla ll amp? this is the latest Son of Ampzilla ll amp. I need opinion and input on how these two amps would compare sonically on my speakers. Both amps received glowing reviews.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I would like to thank you all for your responses. There’s no specific reason that prompted me to change from my Classe Sigma Amp2 class D amp to the SST Son of Ampzilla ll class AB amp. Just want to explore this amp after reading do many glowing reviews. My Classe Sigma class D amp could sounds a bit dry and thought that this SST Son of Ampzilla ll would have completely different sonic profile. I still haven’t pulled a trigger yet. These two amps are similarly priced.
