Amps for Martin Logan SL3


I'm looking to upgrade to a higher end used SS amp. My choices are Conrad Johnson MF2500, BAT VK200, Innersound electrostatic amp. Any of you SL3 owners own or compare these amps? I'm looking for a warm and non fatigueing sound with dynamics and great bass to make my SL3's wake up and come to life. I originally wanted to upgrade the preamp as well but $$$ is limited right now. My spending limit is $2K and my preamp is an Audio Research LS3. I appreciate the suggestions fellas.

I have tried the Krell-100 KST for the SL3's. It sounded too bright and still lacking power inspite of the 200 watts feeding the speakers.

I am in the process of buying a McCormack DNA-2 deluxe which should have 600W @4 ohms--more thanwhat I need but enough reserve. I will let you know.

I will use the Krell Kst for mono operation for the cinema center channel which should provide a good enough 300W @ 6 ohms.
