Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?


I have a Conrad Johnson lp70 for my Acoustats and would like to pick up a good SS amp. My budget is about $2,500-3,000.

I woukd suggest the Set 400 by Van Alstein. Alot of bang for your buck at $2K!. 200 wpch in 8 ohms as well. A lot of clean, dynamic sound.

Just a general observation here, as I have not heard any of your shortlist.  Please let us know your speakers.  The speaker / amplifier combination should always be considered together.

One more to add….musical fidelity m6si.  It’s 2 mono blocks on the same chassis.  I use it drive Martin Logan’s ethos.  It’s has plenty of juice and smooth as butter.
