Spectron vs Parasound vs Cary vs ?

What about an anthem statement p2? i love my p5...you could find one used?

The Anthem Statement amps do not have stable voltage at all gain levels. Its a typical solid state design with fluxuating voltage with no full voltage regulation so the amp will run much hotter than the Sanders Magtech and has a much lower damping factor.

I do have to admit that i do not know about the stable voltage thing... i do know that after hours and hours of movies the p5 is only "warm" to the touch. i do know that the multi mono amp design of the anthem is not typical for ss amps. The anthem have brought my b&w's to life. i hope i am not giving bad advise to others.
thanks,

Bill..not giving bad advise at all. All amps do a good job but some better than others. The most important is how efficient is the amp you own. This is why Class D amps have made great strides during the past seven years because of their efficiency. The key benefit to stable voltage is there is no wasted current failing to leave the amplifier output. When the voltage is unstable, then you have the problem of the voltage constantly fluxuating and a percentage of current fails to leave the amp causing heat problems and less continuous output of watts at different ohm levels. This wasted voltage creates heat which is why internal heat sinks and external heat fins are necessary.

Is there a spec that show the efficiently? i am curious to know where my stands in comparison.
thanks,
