Mike, obviously we are in agreement on the M-60's. They are also my destination amps. I have no interest in looking elsewhere. I also agree that when everything else is right, or close to it, the M-60's deliver the best of all worlds. Sweetness, resolution, and enough power to drive most reasonably efficient speakers that are north of 8 Ohms. It is all there. It was a bit different for me however, in that they revealed some rather serious issues with my room and other pieces in my system. It took not a small effort for me to get everything else dialed in. That would be a caution I would issue to any one trying these amps. Others probably won't know right away, as you did, what these amps could deliver.
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Have been a SET guy for so long I have forgotten what a good SS amp even sounds like.
Just bought a pair of $33k speakers that will replace my current $16k speakers. Both are from the same designer and both are 92db and a flat 8 ohms. The new ones arrive in 4 days!
My 300B based amps well drive my current speakers even though I do use the system nightly as a 2 channel home theater. Especially considering the HT usage, I think I may enjoy a SS amp with many times the horsepower. The speaker designer suggests using a Leema Hydra II. I have written to Leema telling them of my 300B preference and they assure me that their amp does not have the destructive harmonics that make a SS amp bright. There must be other SS amps that can satisfy?
