Amplifier for Martin Logan CLX


Hi there
I have owned CLX reference for few years
But am finding it hard to get an amplifier which
Is suitable
I mainly listen to classical
I have all accuphase front end and. 3800 preamplifier
Stealth ic s and speaker cable
Although I like reliability of solid state most I have tried sound thin
On clx and run out of puff quickly
When I have tried valves the speakers seem to
Open up have vivid timbres and sound stage and three dimensionality
And amazing micro dynamics
I have read JV say the Soulution 700 are great
As a musician correct timbre is very important to me
Getting the woody sound of strings and brassy sound if brass
I find is make or break

So I would love suggestions you have heard
From views these are a few I am interested in
Boulder monos
Soulution monos
Burmester
Accuphase a200
Vtl Siegfried
Audio research monos
Cat monos
This is not an exclusive list
Prefer answers from people with CLXs or heard them
I have heard all these amps
But not in Australia and not on my clx
I will end up having to buy without trial as no dealer within 300 km
Hence my dilemma
Thx for advice
Andrew

I do have a pr of martin logan clxs with depth subs running with arc ref150
Amplifier,it runs fine with this one but keeping my mind to sell it and get a pr of vtl 450 or bigger. Vtls amplifier runs perfect and you should listen them.
They are a sure thing, or running with otl amps,
