Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions


What is your favorite class A amp and why? There are many here on Audiogon... Levinson, Krell, Pass Labs, Plinius and an occaisional Accuphase A50V. I am driving Proac Response 3.8s (88dB efficiency). I recently auditioned a Pass Aleph 5 and was stunned by the presentation at only 60wpc.

Your input is much appreciated!

The McCormack DNA-2 Revision A may still be a class A/B after the upgrade, but it's very powerful and musical. Mine does run a bit hotter since the Revision and the bias may have been tweaked. My speakers are 88db efficient also and you'd be impressed by the effortless control provided by this amp.
It's 300w/600w/1200w from 8 to 2 ohms. Check the classifieds.
