The Clayton’s are world class. I think the same league as the Lamm’s. I’m thinking perhaps a vintage Levinson recapped. Not sure of Lamm’s future with Vladimir’s passing.
Thanks to all for their comments.

I actually know what you mean about the trips to Brooklyn, one of my ML 1.1s kept switching into standby during play, turned out to be a defective relay but took a few trips as it was hard to find because it was temperature-related. As for a replacement, in addition to the ones mentioned above, Ayre amps have always impressed me with their ability to convey the music like Lamms do, not class A operation but worth auditioning. Same with VAC in tubed amps. |
I’ve always thought Clayton Audio amps were some of the better Class A solid state amps around and quite a value for the performance they offer. Here are a couple reviews for their M200 mono blocks and S100 stereo amps FYI... https://positive-feedback.com/Issue33/clayton_m200.htm https://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0314/clayton_audio_s100_power_amplifier.htm
