What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos?


I want to replace a pair of Red Dragon digital mono blocks with an excellent SS stereo amp of approx 150 RMS.I have Acoustic Zen Adagios speakers

I am not interested in tube amps or tube rolling. Need input and/or recommnedations. I CANNOT afford $5000 ARC, Levinson, Krell or other super high end basic power amp. In the past, have considered Odyssey Stratos SE, McCormack DNA-1 upgraded to "REV B" or "REV A" level; also, the better Conrad Johnson SS power amps. Thank you.

" Can't afford $5000 super high end basic amp " LOL. Thats a good one, I thought $5000 was in the lower mid category.
Good luck. Mccormack is a very reasonable choice.

My strategy is always to listen a lot and listen to the best whenever possible, then buy what I can afford.
Sunnyjim, I'm curious. I've been considering getting a pair of Red Dragon M-500s. What is it in your Red Dragons that makes you want to move on?
Sunnyjim,

What I mean by truly balanced is a component that has balanced circuitry throughout the piece, like all later generation Rowland gear. An example of gear not truly balanced is the Adcom 5802 amp. It has balanced inputs, but they are just converted to single ended, after they enter the amp.
I own (5) Murano P1000 monoblocs, with the B&O module.
They are truly balanced...
To Daniel...Thank you for the explanation

To Tmsorosk: Excuse me!!! so I was off by $10,000 or so. I saw your set-up. Very nice, but the MK#431 is not in my price range: new, used, or in kit form (LOL)
