Best high current SS Mono amps

PArasound Jc-1s or Wolcott Presence Monos.

Save your money and try the Blue Circle BC8 monoblocks. Endless reserves of power and contol. Also try the Pass Labs X600's a different more clinical sound but better bass control.

You both have great systems! I will consider your advice!

I use Martin Logan clsIIz using granite audio 555 PC with Nordost Valhalla and a pair of Descents using BMI shark PC and straightwire crescendo xlr's. There are two Sound Application linestages for conditioning. There are several 30 amp circuits with the Albert Porter outlets. I do listen at low volumes, but I might just play loudly once in a while.

Pass (and maybe Wolcott) were on my personal short list, but I didn't know the Pass was a high current amp.

I really want to avoid buying an amp that won't work well with that speaker!

Yada- Though I believe tubes (particularly OTLs) and esls were made for each other, if you must go ss, then I'd suggest you consider Spectral. My limited experience with a Pass X350 amp (albeit, not on esls) was less than impressive. In my 15 years with esls, there were only 2 ss amps that I felt were up to the task sonically, Spectral and Symphonic Line. Each gave a differing perspective, but certainly top tier. Only the best OTLs outperformed them, but with much greater headaches. Good luck.

I'm using the X-600 monoblocks on my 1 ohm speakers. I have a large room, and I like it loud at times. I cannot imagine better monos. I have run all tubes, and have had no trouble switching to Pass X amps, and pre amps. They are perfectly invisable partners to my tubed CDP and speakers. I still must have tubes somewhere, though. With a 4 ohm load, the 600s may be overkill. They will be running class A all the time.... That's good.

Of course, for the price you are looking at, you will need to buy the 600s used. That is no problem, because Pass amp reliability is legendary.
