Best AMP for Avalon Eidolon, ARC, CAT, VAC..?

Eidolon's are not at all 'cool and lean'. You've got issues somewhere else in your system. Avalon suggests that there are many quality amplifiers that will partner well with Eidolons. It's been my very limited experience that lots O watts ain't got nothin' to do with it. Current maybe. I'm sure the Eidolons have the ability to reveal all that the amplifiers you're considering have to offer. Still you should check this out. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue26/nuforce9se.htm

Unfortunately for all the class D skeptics out there this man speaks the truth. Another unfortunate item is that these little blocks take a while to run in and once done provide an almost sinister amount of resolution. I honestly can't recommend these to a recent tubeophile convert as there is absolutely no warm fuzz, humm, or colored lushness down this pedestrian priced path. You will hear your Eidolons though, along with every mistake that lies before the amplifiers inputs.

If you wanna hear Eidolon's and tubes get on down to the Analog Room in San Jose, California were their being powered by a pair of Wavestream Kinetics.

That's my opinion, I could be wrong.

BOOO

Accent: Mr. Levi reviewed and purchased the EAR 890's a few years back and just rereviewed them. In this latest review his opinion was that the NuForce did hold an edge over the 890's in bass reproduction though.

I listen to a great deal of FM. My tuner sits just 18" above the NuForce SE's which are close to the floor. My yagi antenna is masted on the roof of my ranch style home. The only FM interference I've encountered with the SE's was from my clock radio whose little wire antenna was moved up off the floor and the problem was solved. I should point out that I use heavily shielded DIY VAC cable, stare grounded long before the SE's arrived.
