Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade

THose Datzeels are very interesting. Should be for $150000.

For most people in this world, I'd say advancements in Class D amplifiers is the thing that most people with modest budgets should be looking into. Class D is a different ballgame altogether and the most recent models and technology delivers in spades IMHO and many others as well.

They do a better job of rounding the heat sinks off now so you don't cut your hands when you go to move it.

Mitch-

I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Nelson Pass.
Historically, he has given us audiophiles some of the greatest SS power amps. 2nd would be Mr. Mark Levinson.

On the tubed -side, Conrad Johnson and Audio Research comes into my mind. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Ebm,
It should sound even better with those new speakers you're building.

Second note;

Honorable mention to Bob Carver & John Curl.
I am sure there are others that I am missing at the present time. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
