The Jeff Rowland Model 10 is the best amp for under $10,000. Period. Here's all I have to say about the amp: it is 50% more efficient than an amp with a normal power supply, it's smaller, it runs cooler, has better detail, more realistic bass, no grain, and looks gorgeous. You thinking of a Krell or ML or anything else? Take the top cover off of the JR and then look inside anything else. You'll never look back.
Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less
I'm auctioning off my Aragons to put towards the purchase of 'my last amp'. Wondering what people think. I have a Krell HTS as a preamp and Dynaudio 3.3's as mains. All I'm concerned with at this time is two channel sound...home theater can take a back seat for a while. My 'short' list is made up of Mark Levinson 335 or 336,Krell FPB300C or perhaps the FPB600c if I can find a deal,Classe 401, Plinius SA250. My musical tastes lean towards classic rock and jazz.What do you think?

I would suggest the McIntosh Mono Blocks MC1000 alot of dealers are blowing out these MC1000 to make room for the MC1201, you should be able to get a set NEw in THE BOX for under 10K I would also try as well The Krell 250 MonoBlocks Sweet sound of success! Good Luck and when you fing the MAGIC* please post up what it is, so we can pass along the information to everyone |
@subaruguru are you into the older subies or the new ones? What are you driving that you really like? |
I would strongly suggest you give class d a try...for a fraction of the stated budget you could be all in on a class d with stupid power, and some of the best sound on the planet. VTV amplifiers offer a 45 day in home trial and you can get power levels from 125 wpc to over 1200 wpc with a tube input buffer if desired. Lots of choices and they really do sound good. If you don't like it send it back and buy whatever floats your boat. https://vtvamplifier.com/ |
