Son of Ampzilla 2000 or McCormack DNA225 amp?

I know this isn't what you were looking for, but you might also consider the sa1000 from Red Dragon Audio. It's my company so this is a bit of a shameless plug but I sincerely believe you would do well to consider the sa1000.

You may want to post this in the Vmps forum at audiocircle.com as there's a number of people who've heard the SOA2000.

Many thanks for your responses!
Am currently using an Audible Illusions S120 amp (vintage 1989 - rebuilt in 1999 by Art Ferris & AI) & am looking to update to a newer, updated, even better sounding amp.

Would be driving Fried Studio 5's (full-range, transmission line loudspeakers - relatively efficient)thru an MFA Magus-A preamp (modified).

Looking for something tube-like in a high powered transistor amp & affordable.

Thanks again!
