Solid state amp ultimate stop...


Hi,
I am wondering, when upgrading your power amplifier (solid state/hybrid/digital but not tube), which brand of amplifier do you think could be your last stop for your solid state amplifier investment? Put it in another way, which brand(s) of solid state power amp would be your ultimate dream machine that you believe you will be very happy to live with for a long time? In your answer, please consider a realistic top budget that you are willing to spend for that ultimate power amp. As for me, I will be very happy when I finally upgraded to a Pass or BAT product.

This question is just for the sake of discussion, please .. don't flame me. :)

Thanks,
KG

Nobody is pushing, Essentialaudio. It is a suggestion. The H2O Sig is free to try. I respect David, and value his opinion. I also know he likes to try new things.
Have to agree with David,

After listening to to a Boulder Pre/amp combo driving JMLabs utopia two weeks ago. It will eventually will be my final stop.

We all must have dreams.

Symphonic Line, not much any better out there.
Compete well against all the best top ones available.
Such as Memisis 18.4 monoblocks. Not inexpensive, but would qualify as in the Ultimate category.
David, I have been reading your entries with interest.
I heard the Osiris ten years ago and lusted for them ever since. I am considering purchasing a pair soon. You have had some incredible gear. If you haven't tried the Stealth Indras yet, you should. You'll unload your Valhalla's in a
hurry. I would love to get a pair of Boulder's to mate with the Osiris but they rarely seem to come up for sale used (I guess that says something). What would be your second choice for the Osiris?
