Re: rec's needed: most dynamic SS amp w/ tube-like mids

I have owned or auditioned ARC, Krell, ML, BEL, Gamut, Parasound and Dreadnaught.
IMS, nothing beats a McIntosh MC402, it has startling dynamics, a smooth, tube-like sound, outstanding imaging and runs cool.
Its sound quality is very clean from 40 miliwatts to 400 Watts (yes, I have played it that loud, maybe for a few seconds).
If you need more power, Mac makes the 501 Monoblocks and I believe 1.2KW monoblocks, all the above based on a novel double-balanced amplifier topology and output autoformers to better match the amp to the speakers.
