Solid State amp with wide soundstage

hi dhcod the previous 2 posts failed to mention the highly respected Electroacompaniet. maybe alittel more than 1k but this lab is worth serious consideration in the ss. sound.

Although mentioned above by brand name, I'll be specific: add the Bryston 3B-ST to your list. A fine amp that can bought used for $1000-1200, provided that roughly 140-150 wpc (actual output, not rated output) is sufficient for your needs.

Conrad Johnson. Take your choice of models, they're all good

I'll second the McCormack DNA-0.5 or DNA-1. Very open, quiet, transparent, and smooth but with great detail and wide/deep soundstage. In fact, lots of tube lovers have praised McCormack amps. Another plus is you can save your pennies and have them upgraded by Steve McCormack(SMcaudio) into what many call some of the best amps available at any price. I've been using a DNA-0.5 Rev. A for a couple years and haven't come close to even thinking about upgrading. Steve is also great to deal with--very honest and straightforward. Best of luck.
