@khragon  I believe Scott is having his site rebuilt and is moving to another hosting service. If you would like his contact info, PM me.
Another data point in our continuing, vaguely perverse, search for solid state amps that play well with Nenuphars -- SPEC RSA-M3EX from Japan (the EX stands for export model). Jeff Day at Positive Feedback wrote a lengthy review back in 2015 with the backstory. Mr. Yazaki and his friends wanted to re-create the sound of the classic post-WW2 amplifiers.

Well, they succeeded. There was one for sale on Audio Mart back in August and have been enjoying it since. The amp isn't about that bump in the upper mid-bass; the focus is on tone. Instead of listening with my forebrain I find myself listening a little deeper. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.

Originally I paired the SPEC with my Boenicke W8 speakers as they appreciate Class D amplification as Sven himself uses. It made for an ambiance-rich pairing. Paired with my Nenuphars, the SPEC was in the upper echelon, keeping company with my SIT-2 and Vinnie Rossie integrated. While the SPEC is an integrated amp it has a preamp bypass switch so you can mix with your favorite preamp flavors. Currently I am listening using the excellent icOn passive pre.

So, if you get a chance to catch the RSA-M3 it is recommended.

Funny, I was talking about SPEC CORP the other day with the U.K. dealer friend of mine and he rated them. Thanks for the information.
