Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland


What would it be? Transistor or Hybrid. This is a general discussion.
I heard that Gryphon and Ypsilon qualify but I didn't audition either. Lamm hybrid does too, I believe.

Ayre is bipolar output, Pass is MOSFET output & Rowland has been bipolar output in yester years & class-D these days. 

Are these the only 3 transistor brands that come to your mind? There are so many others in the market at different prices. OR, do you want to stay in the Ayre/Pass/Rowland price range?

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is? Do you want to get away from these 3 specific brands & buy something off-beat? Or, get away from these 3 brands & buy some European amp brand? Or, are you looking to change output stage topology? Or, something else on your mind for discussion?
Unhappy or had enough of your present setup?
