best amp

I also concur with the others that you should keep your amps until you have gotten your speakers. Your concerns about amplification seem to center around power and quality. If you decide to change amps, you should try to do a serious audition of the Bryston 7B-ST monoblocks (about 500 watts each), or the new Bryston 14B-ST, which is essentially a pair of 7B-ST's on a single chassis. I own Bryston equipment and think it is one of the genuinely great values. However, one caution: audition an amp that has had substantial break-in time. My Bryston amp took nearly a month of frequent use before it settled in.

A SIM AUDIO MOON W3 OR W5 AMPLIFIER WOULD WORK WELL; HOWEVER, AS PER OTHER RESPONSES GET YOUR SPEAKERS FIRST

Depends on your speakers, being an electrostatic fan, Roger West's Sound-Labs, are the best by far compared to all the others I have heard, I have to put my vote in for Atma-Sphere MA-2 Mk II, 220 watts of triode Class A power, I have never heard anything better at any store, CES show, or someone else's home.

someone at audiogon has a pair of aronov ls9100 for $2k. that's a $6600. pair of amps that will blow the door off anything under 10 grand. if you like tubes take a look

try spectral amp/pre amp combo, its what I am using for my snells, great units for them...brings performance up to date since the snells have the resolution and detail ability to go with their flat power response.. I am using Spectral DMC 30 and DMA 150
