DNM sounds like a decent shot. If you can find one.
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?

I have two custom SET amps and have had solid state by pass, McIntosh,etc. I’ve never been a fan of class d and tried ps audio, and a few other brands. I recently heard dSonic’s new class d amps based upon pascal chips and they were fantastic. I’ve heard them with a variety of speakers including ATC, Revel, Focal and the dSonic was phenomenal with each. I’ll be buying one |
