The original Ampzilla (1976) was considered the BEST sounding SS amp at the time! That is when I first encountered it! Harry Pearson (TAS) even thought so! He called it "surgically romantic"! James Bongiorno claimed that the improvements to the original design made a " better" sounding amp - the 2000. I never owned the Ampzilla. Only the original Sons. Now have two in my collection. Presently using a Son with my DCM Time Windows. Great sound - no urge to change (plenty of other amps in my collection). I’d bet the new versions sound great, too! The Ampzilla 2000 has plenty of power - no need for a pair of mono Sons!
SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II
Looking for something new to drive my Dunlavy SC-IVas and am considering SST's Ampzilla offerings. My preamp is an ARC SP3. Hoping someone with a bit more exposure to them could share what they'd consider the pros and cons of each to be and whether the 2000 monoblocks are worth the extra money.
