Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds

I'm about to receive a used pair of Diamonds, and already have a CAT JL2 amplifier and a pair of Classe Omegas. I've heard that the CAT has great synergy, but don't know about the Classe. Typically I've heard good things about Spectron and Roland amplification with the Diamonds. Are there any other SS amps that people know work real well with the Diamonds?

Thanks, Peter

As long as it's Dartzeel, Evolution Acoustics, Playback Designs, etc. :)

Peter,

What did you find lacking in your Indras?

I couldn't disagree more with Jtinn.

I have Indras (obviously not the same tweeter), but I am driving them with a Hypex UCD400HG with HxR and all solid ocre Neotech wiring, upgraded RCA's, IEC, etc. and the sound is amazing. Best sound I've had yet with any amp on my Indras. Detail, amazing layered 3D soundstage, bass slam, terrific imaging, air, unreal clarity, etc.

Not all digital amps are created equal. To make such a blanket statement about digital amps is nonsense.

I understand Jtinn.

Sometimes it just takes a while to overcome our prejudices :)

And no need to be sorry. You can eventually open your mind if you try hard enough.
