Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range

tomic, I very well appreciate you being a Vandy fanboy, as I understand their many attributes. You seem defensive, and no need to be. Although I mentioned I was not a fanboy ( I am not a fanboy of many brands, as indicated ), I never suggested the op change from Vandys, which you seem to have missed. I am a horn guy, so apples to oranges. As I suggested, the larger 3s, or the addition of a powered sub with crossover, would possibly do for the op everything he is looking for. BTW, the majority of pro amps I have been accustomed to, have one thing in common : they have " balls ". OP, can you tell me about your fan mod, as I have done them also ? Enjoy ! MrD.

 I have owned the Stratus, and while I think it’s an excellent amplifier, I would not call it fast. I think the BEL and the Aragon would be better in that regard. 

@mzkmxcv: It seems a tad unfair to criticize a manufacturer for not providing a graph when they summarize a lot of data relevant to consumers.

It is more unfair to criticize George for relying on such specs regarding Schiit amps without graph data when you thereafter recommend gear not having graph data:

Same with the Outlaw amp recommendation. 

OMG - my recommendations are so far above emotiva, outlaw, etc.  Different class altogether.

@peter_s Not clear what your point is. What does it mean “different class altogether” absent any additional info?
