Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k

I have Moon 400M monoblocks which are approximately $5k each.

I think they sound great.

I’ve heard monoblocks that are $25k and higher (Martin Logan and PBN audio). Different systems and the difference I’ve noted is the dynamic impact and detail.

Does that mean all $25k amps will have more details and dynamics than all $5k monoblocks...certainly there will be exceptions. Is the difference worth the cost, that’s a question for the specific person spending their money.

I have monoblocks that are the only two in the world. Their cost is not important. Unbelievable assault on what is possible. Forget the idea that cost matters. If, and IF is the crucial consideration here, you really care about music reproduction, find a master craftsperson to build the ultimate amplifiers of Your Life. This is what living human life while caring about music reproduction looks like.

What amps has the OP owned? What does he have in present use? What speakers?

A $5K amp vs. a $25K amp? That's the equivalent of a $5K watch vs. a $25K watch - just a greater level of bling! Too bad you can't wear it like a watch on your wrist to impress!

The problem with uber expensive amps is they often have something to prove. They try too hard to be stand outs and therefore have a heavy signature on the sound.

Instead of looking for differences based on price, I suggest you listen to a few distinctly different amps:

• McIntosh
• Ayre
• Luxman
• Pass
• Parasound
• D'Agostino
• Vandersteen

Two or three of those sound very very good and close to each other, and the rest are going to give you a remarkably different presentation.  Is the most expensive the best sounding? I have no idea, but there's a couple of really pricey brands on there I wouldn't have in my house, even if off for fear they'd corrupt my listening experience.  😂
