Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier


What high current amplifier provides the best midrange?

To be more specific, I am looking for something to power a midrange dipole line source with 85-86 db sensitivity. I was thinking of 200-250 W/ch at 8 ohms (300-500 into 4 ohms). Frequency limits are within 300 Hz and 5000 Hz.

For comparison sakes, the amps I currently have are posted in

Hi Brainwater,

How does the Prem 350 compare with tubes in the mids for liveliness? I ask because I noticed that you are selling the Cary 211 Anniv. monos which probably has great mids, being that its a triode amp, so you know what great mids are. The 350 must be incredible for you to add it to your system.

Can you briefly highlight the 350's sonic attributes? Also does the amp take a long time to stabilze its sound quality? I use to own a solid state amp and I noticed that it took 3 hrs to sound its best. And since I only listen 2 1/2 hrs every other day I find that my current c-j MV-60 only needs 20 min warm up and the sound doesn't change much after that.

I was thinking of upgrading to a Prem 140 my first choice (other choices are: Cary V12R, Used Cary 805C or Quicksilver quickie triodes) but if 350 is a lot better than I might have to re-evaluate.

Thanks!
