Best midrange on SS amp ?

Pass Aleph 1.2 mono blocks.

Happy Listening.

Have to agree with Ken, Plinius SA102. I use mine with a VTL preamp. Have tube-like mids. Very balanced throughtout. Good luck. Mark

Based upon what my ears tell me (and somewhat in contradiction to MF's recent review in Stereophile), Theta's Enterprise monoblocks (or any Theta amp, for that matter) have beautiful midrange for a SS amp. The Citadels are rumored to be even better. I picked up a pair of Enterprises to power my Thiels, and the resulting midrange is very natural and musical. Of course, soundstage and imaging are really where the Thetas excel.

Boy Newbee, are we on the same page! I too feel that to date, the best solid state amps I've listened to top to bottom were the Threshold SA-1's, lovely mids, extended highs and very natural well defined bass. The Pass are nice but there was something magical about the Threshold that I haven't heard in any other ss amp. I liked them so much I bought a lesser Threshold S-200 (Class A-AB) that I was never completely satisfied with. It is the last ss amp I owned.

I've use a BAT VK500 for 5 years....it partners very well with this pre-amp....can't recommend this combo enough.
