Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?

Jman,Tvad
speakers: SP Tech timepiece mini with updated crossovers.
87dB,8ohm no dips below 6 ohm.
Sub JL Audio Fathom F112
Room:17*20*11(WxDxH).
Music will be quite loud.

Around $6k, used or new.

Regardless of room size, speakers etc - buy used Musician III (about $3k) - send it to Spectron for factory upgrade to Mk2 - $1.5k and for $4.5k total you have one of the best amps in the world.

Problem is that used Musician III is soild within 24 hours.

New Musican III Mk2 retails for $7k - so find a good dealer and press on price and you will get a new for slightly above $6k.

I don't have to describe the amp - do search on Interent or go to Spectron Audio web site for professional reviews. No amp with retail cost below $15k can come even close to this one - midrange of the best tubes amps combine with the iron clad control of the bass

All The Best

Rafael,

thanks for the tip, I owned MIIISE previously, but Im hoping to find something better, is the MkII such an improvement?
