What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?

I believe the OP’s question was, what is the best solid state amp YOU have heard? not what is the best solid state amp out there.

lol -- this makes replies even more meaningless as many, if not most posters have little history here, and do not qualify their comments and choices with disclosures of their systems, nor their experience (much less a listing of other amps they have had)

a nad amp would be the best sounding amp i’ve ever heard if i got into the hobby last year and had just a sonos amp prior, driving my dad's 30 year old advents ... 🤔

jjss49,
The AR 100.2 is special. It has more real color and texture (not colored) than most ampps, especially solid state ones. Definitely better than my Mac in some ways, and quick too. I still want one!

with your post i would have thought you have one!!!

@roxy54

Audio Research 100.2. That is a really nice amp.

i agree 100% .... 100.2 by arc one of the nicest ss amps ever - voiced warm yet transparent and w/ iron grip when needed - voiced to sound right by the definitive tube amp maker

i have had mine since new, others come and go... this one stays...
