All excellent responses. There are many factors that go into purchasing an amp. You have to ask yourself a few fundamental questions.
1. How much power do I want?
2. How much heat do I want to put up with?
3. How much space do I have for the amp?
4. How much do I want to spend?
5. Tube Vs Solid state Which sounds better TO YOU!!
6. Do I prefer a neutral sound or a euphonic warm sound?
7. What are the other components in the system and how can
system synergy be achieved?
If you aswer these questions honestly you can narrow down you search to a few manufacturers and then auditon them!!
