Vote for best US made solid state amp

This is not a cut-and-dried issue. The higher the definition an amp is, at this extreme would be Spectral, there is more chance at some dryness. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the "musical" sounding amp; a musical amp will, of necessity, be lacking in that last bit of detail. You don't get something for nothing! A good "musical" sounding amp is the Plinius SA-250. Personally, I have a Spectral DMA-200; this amp, when mated with the Spectral DMC-20 preamp, is a hard combo to beat. It is lightning fast, surgical, but can have just a hint of dryness depending on the matching equipment. To me, with a neutral sounding speaker and the right cables, Spectral is it.

Well as farest current amps go I must say Jeff Rowland model 12 rules....second best Pass X-350 then perhaps small Rowland model 10....try them and let me know what you think... GOOD LUCK

Clayton, Pass, Rowland, in that order. Worldwide, I might add Plinius in the top three. All others are too hard or unmusical. Esp. Krell, Boulder, and Threshold.

nothing is close to a Spectral 360 in a balanced mode /MIT EVO and DMC-20. The best in the world Olivier

Wo...Wo..Woh! Fellow audiophiles, don't you think you have to tell us your complete equipment list. Don't get me wrong, all SSAmps mentioned are all great stuff for any price. But the amp is only one vital link in any audiophile's dream system; please tell us the rest of the system & price, some did. I need to know before decide a first step into hi-end (deep end?)audio. Thanks to all, phil.
