How would you rate these 2 Channel amps

Hi,
In which order would you rate the following amps from the era of pure HiFi before Home Theatre's advent,
Krell, Accuphase, Mark Levison, McIntosh,Counterpoint, Luxman,Hafler, you can add any in the top ten that I may have missed, also please give your opionions on thier preamps.
I am basically talking about solid state stereo amplifiers not Tube amps.
Thank you,

I would recommend the Sanders ESL amp over any of the brands listed. There are many solid state amps still trying to get it right. In the past I've always been a firm supporter of good tube gear because none of the SS equipment could as effectively communicate the music's flow and ebb as well, until I heard the Sanders.

Take a listen to it if you get a chance, I know this will be tough where you reside, but if you come to Singapore, I could set you up for a listen.

The Sanders amp I mention has no problems with all kinds of music. Up to you. When I tried the amp, it was as if the door to the music was opened, and I was hearing lots of details, excellent depth and bass punch, and the timing of the music just flowed coherent from top to bottom.
