Best poweramp $2-4K matched with Cary SLP-98


I just bought a Cary SLP-98 and am looking for a power amp in the range of $2-4K for this Cary preamp. My system includes Meredian G08 and ProAC Ref8 signature. I enjoy listening to the Jazz music. I did some research in the audiogon discussion threads and mostly the threads talked about the tube rolling and rarely mentioned about the amp used. Please share your experiences of your amp with the SLP-98. Thanks.

Second the V12i, that is what I used with mine. Cary V12R or even the AES 6 packs would work too.

From the solid state side I used a TRL D-225. You'll need to trim the gain knobs on the SLP-98 down though as this amp is very high gain.
