Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire

Hi,

I bought a pair of Dynaudio Sapphire speakers. My electronics and cables are;

Classe Cap-2100
Ear Acute cd player
Pro-ject Extension(with ortfon Jubilee)
Unison Phono One Phone Pre
Auidoquest Volcano speaker cable, Sky Analog interconnects.

I do not have a budget limit to buy electronics(also no rush) but I do not want to spend my money for uncessary ultra expensive equipment. I am considering EAR 890 power&868 pre, ASR Emitter I with battery, Audio Research REF3(2nd hand of course)+REF110, Musical Fidelity AMS series vs. vs.

I spent some time with the Saphires and never really got into them. There wasn't anything to complain about. They just didn't thrill me.

THEN, I hooked them up to a BAT VK-250SE amplifier and WHOA! did they come alive. Completely changed the character of the speaker.

I'm not saying the BAT is the only way to go. Only saying that these speakers are definitely sensitive to what you hook them up to. I would look for something that had lots of current.

Good luck!
