Absolute Best power amp, tube ss


No assumptions. No conditions. No holds barred.
Current production only.
My vote: LAMM ML2 for tubes; PASS X1000 or Forsell Statement for ss.

Tube- Tenor OTL's
SS- Accuphase A-50 V's bridged to monoblocks.
Overall- Tenor OTL's. Best of the Best. Period.
come on brian what about the 4s and 8s. ANY TUBE RESEARCH AMP IS THE END OF THE ROAD. some one in high end audio just got a pair of mono 200s. this person has a pair of 300000 $ ongocuon. i dont think the spelling is right. o well. the tube researches are not for sell. BEST OF THE BEST.
Did we miss suggesting Halcro SS amps? They are beginning to show up more and more in high end demo rooms. I'd like to listen to them A/B against the ML 33's I'm sure that would be an interesting omparison. I've heard both separately but never in the same room so I could compare them.
I have owned both with Mark Levinson just leaving recently and now Halcro in my room and I have to admit ...the word LUSH and total transparency as well as the lowest noisefloor I have ever heard .. -24db of niosefloor you got with the halcros compared to the levinson is what I have been told..and I can attest to it as the black on these amps are amazing.

Pls they are spectacular to look at.
wanna See them http://www.angelfire.com/mn2/mzn50/ but pls don't tease me about the RPTV, I know it looks out of place. :)

Audio Note Ongaku; period. I have listened to the Lamms. The Ongaku, paired with Audio Note speakers is simply heaven on earth.
