Opinion Conrad Johnson Solid state Amps

I own a MF2500 and I think that it sounds better then the Premier 11a it replaced. Its just as smooth in the midrange and rich and lush except ever slighty cooler. I think Conrad-Johnson makes some of the most satisflying equipment out there. I owned the Premier 14 preamp with the MF2500. I'm selling my MF2500 right now after only 1 month of use because I have a AWESOME deal to buy a Spectral system for 70% off. Spectral is far more detailed but not as musical, I'm going to have to get analog with the Spectral to match the CJ with Digitals smoothness

The Premier 11a is a tube amp and the MF2500 is solid state, so the one did not replace the other. Actually the 11a is newer. Anyway, the MF Solid State Amps are excellent in my opinion. Very musical and realistic. They do a great job with vocals. There is usually at least one for sale on Audiogon.

I see you asked about Motif also. My current system is a Motif Preamp and MF Power Amp
