Bakoon amplfiers have the most pure,detailed and natural sounding midrange I have heard.They sound neither warm nor cold and when you hear them aspects like that become irrelevant because they just sound right.They used to make 100 watt monoblocks but I am not sure that they do any more and they are not about power anyway.They are about clarity and finesse.They sound a bit like the Dartzeel but with even more immediacy, clarity and vibrancy although perhaps not quite as good bass.They also require more careful speaker matching and are much better driving 8 ohms than 4.
100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids
Quad 909 back in the day had a reputation for the best mids running up to $5000. I've used it in the past and I would definitely say that the mids were the highlight on that amp. It wasn't overly coloured, a hint of warmth, but it had a purity and sweetness to its mids. Unfortunately, mostly everything else was okay at best, kind of rolled off at both ends and congested stage-wise.
I'm looking for that same purity and sweetness without sacrificing the rest of the sonic traits. What have been your guys' contenders for 100W+ solid state power amps with the best mids?
