Unbelievable Solid State Amp at 2-3k ran


Once again, like others, I am in the quest of something that will stop the jitters of potential better, more slamming sound than what I presently own. I have had a Nak PA-7, which sounded great but ran out of steam when driving my Gershman X-1 and Sw-1 subwoofer combo. Currently I own a Sonic Frontiers Power 2, which by the way, does not seem to suffer much noticable clipping as the Nak, at 110 watts per channel tube. Is there an amp out there that will add great, slamming bass with ABS control on it and yet sound ridiculously neutral, but not frigid at the range of 2-3k used or new? Maybe I should continue to stick to what I have, but I cannot help, but to wonder. I was wondering about those old Pass Aleph 2 monos. Do they provide current, or are they simply underpowered for what I want?

Check out the BAT VK500 with the optional BAT/PAK (go to www.balanced.com). It will drive any speaker with ease. It has very solid bass and is very neutral sounding. The Pass is a great amp, but it doesn't have the headroom of the BAT. Good luck.
i just listened to a GamuT D 200 amplifier today and i was very impressed. this amp lists for $5500 but i saw someone offering a demo on Audiogon at approx. $3300. i have not had the chance to listen to this amp for a long period of time and certainly not in my system but i must say it sounded particularly smooth. and yes this amp got a rave review in the year end awards issue of The Absolute Sound, if that means anything. website for spec info is www.ampspeaker.com
