Amplifier Upgrade advice ?


I'm using Nakamichi PA-1 (5x100w) with Parasound avc-2500 and Monitor Audio silver 8i's. Thinking about replacing the amp, what are my options if the budget is $2K ~ $2.5K ?
Another option is to do some mods on Nak by John Hillig of Musical Concepts ?
Any advice ?

Thanks.

Sell the Nak.

Take a look at the Odyssey Stratos amps and their reviews at odysseyaudio.com. You can order a pair of mono blocks for $2k. They are powerful and very fast amps. And they are rated far above many so-called 'hi-fi' big name amps. Not to mention the 30 day money back satisfaction guaranteed and the 20 year warranty.

Peter Moncrief of International Audio Review rated this amp Class 1B in the solid state category. There was only one other in Class 1B and only one in Class 1A (the best). I've owned three of the 20 or so amps that he reviewed back in 1998-99 and he was right on the money with those three amps. I came this close ---><--- to buying the Stratos until I found a used Class 1A amp.

I personally never listened to the amp, but I know a few that do own them. You should not find any negative feedback from anyone owning this amp.

-IMO
