Clayton M100 Monoblocks??

Well, let me start out with the disclaimer - I'm a Clayton dealer. But I was a Clayton owner before I became a dealer. The M100 presents an excellent combination of liveliness and harmonic richness. However, before I could recommend this (or any other) amp, I'd want to know what speakers you were planning to drive with 'em.

You mention Pass amps - another excellent line (which I do not sell). I'd say that the Claytons do some things better than the Pass X series amps, and the Pass amps do some things better. Once again, it depends on what qualities you want to maximize.

I am currently running platinum solos (small bookshelfs very inefficient 84db and 6 ohms) I plan on staying with bookshelfs inthe future so I guess whatever speaker I get will need power!

Platsolos,

I infer from your email that most/many book-shelf speakers are inefficient. Is that what you meant to say?

If so, I dis-agree! Atleast 1 model from GR Research (Diluceo) & the one from Green Mountain, several from B&W & from Dynaudio are of much higher efficiency: 89 - 91dB.

There was a very good review I read on the M100 recently that said that it "loves" a low imp. speaker: 4-8 Ohms but the reviewer wouldn't use it w/ a speaker w/ over 8 ohms imp. Here is the link to the review, if you haven't read it already:

I eyed these amps very longingly but ended up getting something else (which I'm very happy with, BTW). FWIW.
