A great amp for some monitor audios


Hi everyone. This my first post here on audiogon. Im just about done with college and I'm looking for a upgrade to my entry into hifi system. My system right now consist of monitor audio rs8s, MIT avt bi wire, pioneer elite cd player and receiver. I'm looking to replace my receiver I got it before I knew a hole lot about hifi and I wanted a HT. I want something that has great synergy with my monitors. So far on my short list of gear to check out is creek audio, arcam, and musical fidelity. I have heard a lot of good things about them with MA. So if anyone has any insight into a amp that would work great with my MA or any general advice at all I would love to hear it. O yea I'm looking at a budget of around 2000 or less.

As suggested it would be very helpful if you stated your goal in terms of sonic preference instead of just brands.
Can you take a trip across the state? If so check out one ogf my favorite dealers Quest for Sound. He is mainly a tube guy but has SS and access to many lines in addition he is flexible and usually has some great deals on demos etc.
I owned a MF 308 integrated. It was too bright on my JM labs with their inverted Al/Mg dome alloy T5 tweeter. That amp was however a very strong performer and very powerful, very detailed. I understand your speakers tend to be warmish, so it might be just right. I got mine from Underwood Wally here on the Gon. He frequently has B stock and may be able to set you up at a good price. The 308 is no longer made but it's replacement should be similar.
