Best power amp for Quad 63

I have read a few discussions about powering the 63s but I am sure that in 2022 there are more options.

Currently I am using an upgraded Conrad Johnson PV11 and a lp70 power amp.  This combination is very good but a little too warm for me. I would like to hear more upper partials (frequencies) and bottom punch.

I am partial to Class A SS amps and looking at the used market.  Probably need to stay under 3K.because I will need to sell my lp70.  I am looking at the following pieces:

SPECTRAL DMA 90

MARK LEVINSON ML2, 23, or 432

KRELL KAV 250S

Plinius 

Esoteric F-03A 

Accuphase E- 530

Thanks in advance.

i owned quads for years

 

i was also a cj dealer the pv11 is your problem the latej cj gear was way more transparent

 

you should just get a new preamp.

 

please give our store a call we have a great warm sondind but more transparent solid state preamp which we can send you

which should perk up that system

and still be sffordable for you
