Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ???


Poured over the forums but seeking repl. for Rogue Medusa.  Sold my Parasound 5ch beast and had regrets at the sale-demo.  Miss the gutteral full bass.  I'm done with ClassD. It's got detail but lacking fullness Want more musicality and like a good soundstage and prefer ClassA/AB.   Tried tube rolling.  Max budget $4k new or used considering Coda 11, JC5, Kinki M7, or new Schiit Tyr pair. All in budget used.  Recent Tyr favorable review in Absolute Sound. Need power for pairing with 4-Ohm CSS towers with Audible Illusions L3A pre.   

Appreciate opinions?

I'll check into that.  May have issues at 40w but fortunately I don't listen at loud volume most of the time so 40 should cut it.   Thank you! 👍

Thanks to everyone for the confirmation on Schiit and the other options ie Odyssey. 

THANKS ALL for the input. **UPDATE- Ended up w/ Schiit Tyr monoblocks for reasons of pwr efficiency, USA, new, warranty, discounted and mag-reviews.  WOW, seriously WOW! Such a huge system improvement into true hifi, nuanced, gutteral, soooo toe-tapping musical. Every track sounds like new and your own personal concert. Realism, soundstage, gut-punch,  black background. The CSS Typhon's need current and the Tyr's deliver in spades. The mono separation really delivers on L/R and somewhere in between, exactly, -right there! (pointing). When your wife, who listens to a laptop,  says she cannot believe it and it's the "biggest improvement to the system ever" is shocked and wants to help pay for them.(!?) I'm kind-of freaking out on the difference.  I finally have a system that takes me into the level I hear at the shops and shows.  I can't say they're the best out there compared to Coda or JC5 but my system is so leveled up I'm truly shocked. $3k feels like an absolute bargain.
