PS- Budget is $15k
Amp(s) to drive B&W 803 D3 speakers
Currently using a Vincent SP-331 stereo amp rated at 150/300 w/ch.
Typically listen at peaks around 85 dB, occasionally up to peaks around 95 dB.
Only interested in SS.
Clarity is primary consideration.
Would consider stereo or mono amps.
Will be bi-wiring.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I’ve owned a Wells Audio Innamorata Signature amplifier ($15k) for many years (I think it’s called Innamorata II now, w/ a different chassis). It is a fantastic amp. I recently read that it has a similar harmonic profile as Pass and Coda but I would say its definitely with more resolution/transparency and more neutral/less warm than those two. The Wells has less solid state artifacts than many many SS amps out there. It’s very very quiet and liquid yet of course dynamic and has always answered the call as I’ve upgraded everything else around it. Between me and a friend, this amp was chosen over those and a few other ss amps. |
@jriggy It sounds wonderful! I am not familiar with that brand but will definitely look into it. I should have mentioned the amp needs to be comfortable driving 2 ohm loads. Is that something the Wells Audio amp can do? |
