The Jeff Rowland Model 10 is the best amp for under $10,000. Period. Here's all I have to say about the amp: it is 50% more efficient than an amp with a normal power supply, it's smaller, it runs cooler, has better detail, more realistic bass, no grain, and looks gorgeous. You thinking of a Krell or ML or anything else? Take the top cover off of the JR and then look inside anything else. You'll never look back.
Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less
I'm auctioning off my Aragons to put towards the purchase of 'my last amp'. Wondering what people think. I have a Krell HTS as a preamp and Dynaudio 3.3's as mains. All I'm concerned with at this time is two channel sound...home theater can take a back seat for a while. My 'short' list is made up of Mark Levinson 335 or 336,Krell FPB300C or perhaps the FPB600c if I can find a deal,Classe 401, Plinius SA250. My musical tastes lean towards classic rock and jazz.What do you think?
