Amp for Gallo Ref 3.1 and Modwright swl 9.0se?



Speakers: Anthony Gallo Reference 3.1
Preamp: Modwright swl 9.0se

Budget for amp: Under $1500

Source: CD & Ipod (DAC coming soon)

Music: jazz, 60's psychedelic, drone, metal, hip-hop, ambient and electronic played quiet and loud

I'm very curious about class D, but ultimately want the best pairing. I understand the gallo 3.1's need heavy current.

Thanks.

I am running a Music Reference RM-200II, which is over your price, to very good results. Roger Modjeski was running a special for his RM-10 tube amp for $1,450.00, regular $1,950.00 That included shipping. He says that is his favorite amplifier. It is 35 watts per channel. I do not know if he is still running that special, but you may want to contact him and find out.
Great suggestions. From reading the forums, it seems class D or tube are the way to go. I was trying to avoid tube amps due to the maintenance factor and that I sometimes play music loud. My thinking was the Modwright would bring warmth to the system, even with a class D amp in place. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Also - has anyone tried Channel Island amps? I'm looking at the D-200.

Thanks!
OK - I've narrowed my option to the amps below. Any advice, pro's, cons, weaknesses etc...?

I run a Butler TBD2250 tube/SS hybrid. Runs cool all day and plenty of power. See this review of the Butler used with the Gallos. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/butler/2250_3.html

The Butler TBD2250 seems to be a great pairing. Does anyone know how often these are available used?
There is a 5 channel Butler TBD5150 available. Does anyone know if this would work in 2 channel, and if so, how it would compare to the TBD2250?
