Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?


I have a Conrad Johnson lp70 for my Acoustats and would like to pick up a good SS amp. My budget is about $2,500-3,000.

Jeff Rowland 525

Jeff Rowlan Model 5

Threshold s/5000e

Krell  KSA-250

Thank you in advance.

Krell KSA owner here........ but look at the amps mentioned above by jjss49.

They are newer and won't require service anytime soon.

I still own a Rowland 5 but moved it to my AV system as it wasn't as smooth as the CJ Premier 11a I now use.

Agree with the Belles recco, and some of the older Classe that is actually Class A are really excellent

I have the Nelson Pass Nakamichi PA –7 for sale. Hard to beat. Built like a tank. Sounds fantastic at 200 wants per channel. Nashville $1350

I own a recapped vintage  Conrad Johnson preamp.  It matches in perfect synergy  with a Benchmark AHB2 amp. Remarkable sound with classical and rock.
