South,
I've owned the Arcam Alpha 9 and Alpha 10. I liked the 10 much more than the 9, but the 9 was certainly adequate. Unfortunately I can't tell how the Alphas will work with Epos since I've never heard the combo.
At the used price of around $500, I think the Alpha 10 is a great unit. However, you can also buy a Roksan Caspian Integrated amp for about that same price. I haven't personally heard the Roksan, but the A-gon'r that sold me one of the Arcams had replaced it with the Roksan and he thought the Roksan was a bit better. Personally, I think the Roksan is a better looking unit too...
BTW, what is your budget? Also, you might want to ask the question " Epos ELS-3 owners-What integrated amp do you like with the ELS-3s?". You might get a better suggestion......or not! The Arcam is pretty good....
Enjoy,
TIC
