PS AUDIO Stellar M700 Mono Amplifier?

I have the S300. Plenty of power for my ESLs that started off with PS Elite+ at 70 wpc 8 ohms.  Best sounding amp I've ever owned after Kenwood, DynaCo, SWTP, Superphon. The trade in policy is great.  If you have old stuff name your MSRP.  They'll take anything home audio, no pro. They have the M1200 that has a 12AU7 up front.  Smoother, more power.   get plenty of bloom from mine.
I also have the Stellar GC. PP3 and DirectStream DAC.   2 suggestions.  They  do 20% off during shows (don't hold your breath) and Black Friday. 
Or maybe reconsider.  The industry is moving toward active speakers (like Mad Buchardt) and you might want to direct your money there.

I briefly (less than a year) dipped into Class D waters with the S300. I found it excelled in detail retrieval and dynamics with decent sound staging. It was not my cup of tea ultimately. I found the sound did not have the natural tone and dimensional quality I get through tube presentations I've owned. However, if PS Audio allows a home demo, why not give a try? It may be your cup of joe. PS Audio is an excellent company to deal with; very responsive and they make well engineered products.

The PS Audio class d amps seem to get pretty good reviews with the overall thoughts being detailed with a good soundstage but maybe a little clinical. Remember on the trade in that you pay the shipping. 


Allow me to throw out an alternative from a company that has a very loyal following... all their amps are discrete component class d, not modules.... and less money.  The word on their amps is the best of solid state and tubes combined.... but no trade in. 

Here are some links that may help.
