I'm doing the same price range and my short list is the Belles Ref.150 (2 in mono) or the BEL mk5 (current version) thats Brown Electronics Labs. Have heard good things about the Gamut amps. it's insane to buy without hearing the actuall amp in your system-there is no way to know which matches the best until you can hear them.
$4000 to spend on a SS power amp - help me choose
Audiomeca Mephisto II CD Player
Emotive Audio Sira preamp
VMPS Super Tower R / SRE (ribbon tweets; ribbon mid panel)
Acoustic Zen cables everywhere
I own a Graaf GM 200 OTL as my first amp; the SS will be
a back-up or possibly drive the bass in a bi-amp situation w/
the Graaf & a VMPS active crossover.
