Go with a used classe DR-9 amp excellent performer plenty of power built to last and sounds very close to tubes with ss strength. Find them used sometimes on Audiogon. But please do not pay over a grand for one...to many people selling them for way to much Imo.
amp rec for spendors
Looking for amplifier recommendations for Spendor sp 2/3 speakers. I have used McIntosh mc225 and Audio Note P2SE with them; not enough power. Looking for anybody with direct experience with higher power, quality, single ended and push/pull tubed amps with these speakers. Other models such as the sp 1/2 are close enough that those are fine, too, for direct experience. I have my own ideas but want to see what others think as this is a question that pops up periodically.
