I am hugely pleased with my Balanced Audio Technology VK-600 SE solid state amp paired with Wilson Audio Sophia 2 speakers and using WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6 speaker cables. The amp, however, will heat up my 24 x 16 x 7 basement room.

I am in love with my Electrocompaniet WA 180 monoblocks; such a fine tuby sound for a SS, really amazing!

I connect these with Nordost Valhalla's ( PC), Cardas GR ( IC's) and Ocos speaker cables for being able to run long ends through my living room. My speakers are Dynaudio Confidence C 2's.

A lovely amp that.

I really enjoyed my time with the Sanders Magtech amp WWorld Silver Eclipse 6 cables into MLogan Summit X. A lot of power for the money,in the delicate moments as well & quite a neutral sounding amp too

I have been very happy with Pass X260.5 monoblocks driving Wilson Sophia 2's and then the Sasha via Gryphon speaker cable.
They definitely run at the hot end of the spectrum.
