GREAT AMPLIFIERS

  Bryston, Tact, Spectron and Dolan Audio are the best amplifiers we’ve encountered over the past decade but for some very different reasons.
 
The amplifiers I’d recommend without hesitation for anyone for anything would be Bryston. They sound great, they’re extremely well built and reliable and they have the best warranty in the business. If this sounds like “no one ever went wrong buying a Toyota”, it is a little bit. But it’s no backhanded compliment. Have you taken a look at the 2007 Camry lately?
 
Brystons are the amplifiers for audio connoisseurs too practically minded to be fanatics. Simply a great company to deal with.
 
True fanatics can step up to Spectron. Loved by both tube and transistor enthusiasts, the Spectron amps produce huge amounts of power with an incredible level of transparency and detail. If you want to be able to read every last note on the page, Spectron will deliver them in large black print. Just make sure you have a backup amp in the garage. That John Ulrick and Spectron have not flooded the world with D1 amps is one of the great tragedies of hifi history.
 
The Tact amps have been just super clean and powerful and we used them because of their built-in crossovers. ALL AMPS SHOULD HAVE THESE. But I digress. An extremely well built product with extremely refined, detailed sound and lots of power. Doesn’t grab me quite the way the Spectrons do but a great amp with unique capability. When plugged into their preamp with room correction, in a nice correctable room, the bottom end is unsurpassed. A steep learning curve.
 
Dolan Audio amps by Richard Dolan (of Dolan preamp fame - Stereophile Class A in the late ‘80s) are digital amps with tube buffer stages which typically I wouldn’t like. However the Dolan amps have been able to straddle the two camps providing excellent bottom end that solid state guys demand and a lack of harshness that tube guys prefer. A great asset to our demo room at the 2006 Montreal Audio Show.
