Most transparent amp you've heard?

I forgot VTL Siegfreid. Though I have heard them through Wilson Alexandria at dealer. They sounded wonderful.

G I will check out the Rowland too.

Hi guys, You want me to define what I mean by transparent. To me a transparent component is one that passes the signal with the least harm to the signal passing through it.

How do you know if one component is causing less harm than another? I guess that depends on what you consider harm.

What I'am after is a very low noise floor, low distortion but also musical amp. I have Innersound Kaya speakers and love how transparent they sound.

The amp I have now {Parasound Halo A21} is good enough for any normal human being, but you know how it is in this hobby we are always looking for better.

Pubul57, Yes they require more power than that. From the Stereophile measurements the impedance on the panel starts above 50 Ohms at 1.6 Kohms and drops to 3.3 Ohms at 15 Kohms and continues down to .5 Ohms at 29 Kohms. JA also goes on to say that use of a classic tube amp would result in very rolled off highs.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm going to RMAF this year. Here is a list of amps I want to audition.

ASR Emitter 2 exclusive
Atmasphere MA2 mk3
Audio Research
Bolder 2060
CAT JL2
FM Acoustics
Halcro
Parasound JC1
Pass XA.5 and X.5
Rogue Zeus or Apollo
Spectron
Wolcott not sure if they will be there

Is there anything else I should look out for that will work with my Innersounds?

I know audio shows are not the best way to audition gear but most of the stuff I'm interested in is not represented here in Seattle.
