Help with a new 2 channel amp

I'll rock the boat here. I used to own some expensive and heavy Class A/B amplifiers. People think they can hear the difference between solid state amplifiers, but if you blind them, it's all fantasy. You can hear the difference when there's distortion (tube amplifiers). Otherwise, the role of the amplifier is to be transparent. And solid state amplifiers are all essentially transparent. Find an amplifier that has the stability and power output you need and don't look back.

I recommend you do a little reading on psychoacoustics and amplifiers. All the audiophiles insist that their ears are superhuman and they perceive differences. But psychoacoustics is like that. Even when there is no difference, you will perceive one.

I switched to Class D amplifiers to save my back from lifting 80-pound monoliths. I built some out of ICEpower and Abletec modules. And I have no regrets. Human ears cannot hear the distortions of class D switching.
