what are some of the best amplifiers

I have owned many amplifiers over time. Some were high priced and some were not. My latest finding is a pair of Forte model 7 monoblocks reworked by John Sodderberg. These are very magical amplifiers after 1/2 hour of warm up. The midrange is the best I've heard. Full bodied yet detailed. There is a mystical ring of air and depth that has to be heard to be believed. I have owned Threshold amplifiers(Fortes maker) and feel that the less expensive Fortes(4a and 7's), even in stock form, outperform the Thresholds. I think less is more!

Certainly not Krell, Audio Research, Conrad Johnson or Levinson.

There, now all who own these brands, please put them immediately up for sale at bargain prices so I can continue to buy the "worst of the worst" at bargain basement prices.

And while we're at it, please throw in Vandersteen and Thiel please, they are certainly not worth listneing to.
