What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?

Depends SOLEY on the speaker involved.  On my Thiels, PASS power amps without question...no doubt about it.  On my BIG Magnepan 20.7's so far Aesthetix Atlas but would love to try a few others.  Also in the past, Bel Canto's E.One series amps have been great on Thiels as well.  Would love to try some tubes on my Magnepans...thinking about Carver's new tube amps or maybe going ARC.

Hands down a McIntosh MC-2300.  I’m still kicking myself for selling it.

Mark Levinson ML-2

It took a long time for a mention of Levinson ML-2's and I agree with jdl57 after enjoying  them for quite a long time. Also I still have one the often mentioned BEL-1001 and even though played on very different set ups, I always felt that both models were cut from a very similar cloth.

Everyone please excuse this side track, but my BEL 1001 could use a tune-up. If someone knows how to service it properly please PM me.

Thanks,

For me it was the Bricasti, all their gear is very special.
