Your music tastes are similar to mine. I like an amp with lots of 'slam' and 'attack' with a good grip on the bass line. I auditioned a wide range of amps looking for my 'ideal' amp including top of the range stuff from Chord, Naim and Krell. I eventually settled on Krell monoblocs, unbelievable 'slam' and 'grip' just what I was looking for. Unfortunately too expensive to use for my 'surround' channels so I settled on JLH monoblocs (the upgraded SE versions) from Williams-Hart, they are a similar sound to the Krell but with slightly less 'grip' and a marginally narrower sound stage, not bad considering they are less than a fifth of the cost of my Krells, well worth checking out. Sean Williams will send you his amps for a home dem subject to a small deposit on your credit card.
