Which is the best amplication?

I'm not a fan of MF gear. I auditioned them several times and was not impressed. Additionally, the worksmanship is not up to standard for the price range (I won't go to details). Meridian is nice but rather pricey. Bel Canto was my second choice. I ultimately settle for the Pathos Logos and could not be happier. It work extremely well with Sonus Faber. It delivers great dynamic envelope with silky sound to boot...and you get to experience a little tube rolling. Same price range as Bel Canto but with 2 XLR inputs!. It doesn't get much recognition because there's little marketing unlike MF.
There's a very nice review by Ken Kessler on HiFi News, FWIW.
There is one on auction right now. I'm sure it can be had for a good price. It was posted for $2,700 before. I don't have any affiliation with the seller. There's also a reasonable Bel Canto eVo2i offer from Stereoholic at this moment. IMHO, it's a toss up between the 2 depending on the features you want, tube or digital?. Bel Canto offers "tube-like" sound with 1 XLR input. Pathos is dead quite with great PRaT, wonderful details and grip (I'm amazed everyday at the amount of bass if has and does control) with 2 XLR inputs and tubed stage. Oh yeah, the aesthetic counts too.
Sorry, I throw another choice into the mix. But isn't this hobby wonderful because of the many choices you have available? BTW, have You considered you cabling choices yet?
Good luck.

of the ones mentioned..krell

I am in the same ship but choosing between MF a3.2 pre + 2 amps vs. Rotel 1080 or 1090 for 803's

I'm biased I've got the evo2i, effortless sound and brilliant remote control - i'm lazy.

I'm also in search of amp / preamp or integrated in your price range. Do you know where there is a Pathos dealer on the east coast? Maybe near Washington, DC or Philadelphia?

Thanks,
