Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less

The Aloia is an excellent choice here. I have been using a number of amplifiers well over 10K and find that the Aloia is easily a contender in the 10-20K amp wars.

smooth and clear. a must audition if you listen to jazz and vocals. anyone using a tube front end?(sugg). what cables are you using? anyone biamping? I might get another one before demand drives up price.

aloia amps. see previous post.

Hey Slick2, I believe Snook2 is bi-amping in a up/down configuration. You might want to email him, we've talked a few times, a real nice guy! I'm using Audio Tekna interconnects and speaker wire with a Kora tube pre-amp. The pre-amp is over kill for this amp maybe, or the amp is way undervalued. I think the latter. The only system I've like better than what I have now, (with alot of tweeks) was a full balanced Krell600 driving Wilson Grand Slamns in a $125,000 custom room. My budget is a bit less, and I give up very little to that system. J.D.

Slick2 there's one for sale on audioweb for $2600. Bi-amping is a plus greater soundstage. I'm using audiotekne cables throughout. That's a steal
