Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?

I'm still trying to find a decent integrated from the last thread. This one will most likely find the most comfortable international first class airline seat.

There are too many choices to list. It depends on how they sound to you. When you are spending this much money try to listen to as many as you can and narrow down your choices.

Jman,Tvad
speakers: SP Tech timepiece mini with updated crossovers.
87dB,8ohm no dips below 6 ohm.
Sub JL Audio Fathom F112
Room:17*20*11(WxDxH).
Music will be quite loud.

Around $6k, used or new.

Regardless of room size, speakers etc - buy used Musician III (about $3k) - send it to Spectron for factory upgrade to Mk2 - $1.5k and for $4.5k total you have one of the best amps in the world.

Problem is that used Musician III is soild within 24 hours.

New Musican III Mk2 retails for $7k - so find a good dealer and press on price and you will get a new for slightly above $6k.

I don't have to describe the amp - do search on Interent or go to Spectron Audio web site for professional reviews. No amp with retail cost below $15k can come even close to this one - midrange of the best tubes amps combine with the iron clad control of the bass

All The Best
