Your Favorite Sounding Power Amp, $5000 US Retail max.

Hi I would like to recommend the Bel Canto Ref 600M (you get 2) for 4995.00 list and maybe cheaper with a dealer. I have owned mine for about a year and driving my Focal Kanta 2s with no problem. Transparent, slight warmth, 300-600 watts per channel. Light weight, nice build quality, and yet both together use no more electricity than a light bulb. Class A rated in Stereophile and company has been around for many years with a good reputation. I owned a nice tube amp for 16 yrs. and a few other nice solid state amps. Never did my system sound as good as now. Just my 2 cents worth and you know the saying about opinions. Another option for you to check out. I just wanted my system to be simple, reliable, and great sounding. I got tired of chasing tubes and most NOS tubes are long gone. Good luck in your search. 

Bel Canto e.One REF501S Just hitting the market now.

Bought it for under $2000.00 Black background and great imaging, sound stage, articulate, accurate and fast bass.

Very close second to my AH Qualiton X200.

I am a tube bot.

A CODA #8 WITHOUT meters is $5200 and highly recommended. I have this in my office.

I just traded my Parasound A21+ for a KRELL Duo 125XD. Cost $3.1K. CODA and KRELL is better than the Parasound, though the A21+ is pretty good.

Van Alstine DVA M225 monoblocks - ~$3400 for the pair.  Factory direct made in the USA.  Amazing performance and value for the money.  Compares favorably to high-end monoblocks - many have compared to Pass Labs.  Read the Part-Time Audiophile Review.  

I have been extremely happy with my LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp, which is on sale right now for ~$2600, including a power cord. If you want to spend double that though I doubt you will get 25% better performance is the new AGD amp MSRP ~ $5,000
