I have a long-time client who has an extraordinary system. It is very high efficiency. The problem is the amps. They are Audiopax Model 88 mono-blocks. I don't think I've heard better overall on his system .
However, he wants to have something as a back-up, if not an outright replacement in case these amps break.
Amps we've had in this system (aside from the Audiopax) - all of which sounded very good in certain areas - are Lamm ML-2s, Viva Auroras, Trons, Allnics, Wavelengths, Tom Evans, Art Audios, etc.
Is there an amp - or amps - that I'm missing that stands particularly tall among these?
This is not a trick question... I don't know where to start.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jim Smith
