I currently have a moderately high resolution system which includes Quicksilver Triode monoblocs which I love. I would like to buy a SS amp which drive for rock music. I was thinking maybe a used Belles or Mccormack? Any suggestions?
I've owned a McCormack DNA 0.5 and DNA 1.0, I currently own a Belles 150A Reference. The Belles has more punch and is smoother sounding at higher volume.
I'd second the used Odyssey - prob upgraded Stratos or Extreme. Or, maybe Emotiva? You could be just fine (and "only" out anywhere from $500 to $1K) after you crawl through the SS amps offered for sale here at Agon...
Look for a high-current amp. Harman/Kardon, Parasound, NAD would all fit the bill. And the Emotivas will surprise you, they are one of the best values in the market today...
What about a Parasound Halo? A23 is $800 list. Parasounds always have high damping factor and high current for tight extended bass, and sweet musical treble.
