Do you think that this is attainable?

To all intents and purposes it has been attained in all good SS amps
(And a handful of exceptional valve amps)

Please can you suggest some examples? (Hopefully I will know at least
one!)


Audiolab 8000S, and the 8000P power amp. Common enough, and
essentually 'blameless', as Doug Self would say.

The OP has an Audiolab 8000LX. Shouldn't it be in the list as well? After
all,
isn't the 8000LX just a "stripped down" version of the 8000S (no remote,
and no
configurable operating mode)?

No, it has a compromised power supply, which IME is audible on tough
speaker loads.

I believe the on-paper spec was 60 watts as opposed to 75 watts for the "S"
which, I assume, is an effect of the lower-spec power supply.

And it's *much* worse into low impedance loads, which was a particular
strength of the 8000S.
