Not one brand listed that you can go wrong with. It all boils down to how much you're willing to spend and what the intended application is. SQ or SPL.

There is one amp only that I would want to get other than McIntosh..Soundstream..or Phoneix Gold would be the Digital Earthquake PHD2. I think you get what you pay for in this amp..research it and see for yourself
