Gamut L5 - best solid state and best tube amp comb

Guys,

I'm in the market for a used amp. Currently I'm driving my L5 speakers with an Einstein 100W stereo amp. It runs out of power at moderate volumes. What used SS or tube amp would mate well?

I'm looking for big sound stage and great imaging in an amp with lots of reserve power. I'm told these speakers dip to 2.8 ohms around 300hz. I listen to a wide range of music, but tend toward jazz and classical.

Preamp is Einstein, speaker cables are Analysis plus big silver ovals, not bi-amped currently. thanks.

I would definitely consider the Gamut Di150, a wonderful integrated amp.

Will, I cant give you definitive answers to the comparisons you ask about. I owned and loved the Di150 for a few years and heard it with quite a few speakers, but not the L5. I also compared it with a few high end amps. I stayed with Gamut amps and moved up the range and i would not hesitate in recommending it. It seems to have plenty of power and throws a nice soundstage. It also has great micro and macro dynamics and above all it is transparent. Read the great reviews on this amp. I would also say Gamut is likely to have used their amps in developing their speakers.
