The Best Amplifiers | Buyers Guide 2021

Thanks for posting Joe --I own the Mactone--great to see the brand getting some recognition since 1964:P!

Seriously good and superbly musical--I had Shindo, Jadis, in house and the Mactone smoked both brands.

Thank you Bruce. I keep seeing the Mactone but had no clue. I’m so happy you love it.

FROM a customer:

"Now, I’m amazed at the quality and clean reproduction of the lower bass notes. From top to bottom it sounds as though I have upgraded my speaker system. I love trumpet music and I’ve always perceived that as FAST as Dizzy Gillespie is, he wasn’t completing the notes. He was blasting them out. Now I realize that my previous amplifiers from the last 12 years haven’t been fast enough to keep up with him. Now I am hearing how crisp and clean each note he plays is. Amazing. People often describe sound with depth and width. With this amp, I’m describing it as a “sound field” There is a comprehensiveness to what I’m hearing now that previously didn’t exist. I’ve never heard anything like this. In my system, this is even quieter than the PS Audio amps."

Love these lists. Give us stuff to talk about. Obviously any list that doesn’t include a Gryphon power amp in its list of best amps is fake news :)
 
There can only be one "BEST"


:cool:

Yeah, specs like these do require some physical heft...

1,500 W RMS at 8Ω
3,000 W RMS at 4Ω
6,000 W RMS at 2Ω

320 V peak-to-peak
113 V RMS

Output Current 400 A peak

Weight 570 lbs

Better use that back "support brace" when lifting...
 
Have any of you guys heard them? I have.

For my money:

Audionet Stern Linestage and Heisenberg Monoblocks | The Absolute Sound
Summing Up
Acknowledging the remarkable advancements we’ve witnessed in solid-state amplification over the past dozen years or so, especially those leveraged by a number of industry leaders, most notably from the U.S., Germany, and Switzerland, nothing else in my immediate experience better demonstrates the transistor’s ability to accurately and artfully combine delicacy with power, focus with bloom, resolution with body, detail with texture, and clarity with expressiveness than the Stern and Heisenberg. These flagship Scientist Series products from Audionet should be seen as more than merely the significant accomplishment of Thomas Gessler’s vision; they represent the embodiment of the most refined triple threat available today—class-leading design and build-quality, outstanding specifications, and landmark sonic performance.

might push the bottom tomorrow:)
 
ahh thats the 3000er series.
yes, a very good shootout.
renteless vs boulder3050 vs heisenberg:)
heard the renteless a couple of times at my dealer with the wilson chronosonic xvx. deeply beautiful.
 
just remembered that i did agree with him to bring my audionet humboldt to do a shootout on the xvx vs renteless with hd pre.
sometimes next year maybe
 
wow! the case work on those DD amps is incredible ...and, must account for at least 50% of COGS.
