Amplifier for Avantgarde Duos


I'm looking for an amplifier for my Avantgarde Duos. I'm currently using an Art Audio Carissa with an ASL Flora for the pre. With this combination I still get a shrill presentation on some recordings. My pre has a nice rounded top end so I feel comfortable with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for the amp. Again I prefer something that softens the shrillness. Some amps have a lean top end. The Carissa is almost there.

I've owned the Duos before and 300b amps work wonderfully with them. I suggest the Sophia 300b as first choice for best value. The Wavac is excellent. The Cary SE Signature did a nice job too. The ceramic base Sophia Electric 300b tubes I'd recommend with all listed....I like them better then WE's! I'd avoid the Wavelength models though.
GREAT speakers! Good luck and Good Listening!
