Golden Ear Triton 1 what front ends match well

I bought a pair of these about 2 weeks ago and now have about 50 hours on them. Curently pairing with a Cayin 265ai which is a 40W class A chinese integrated I paid about $600 for in Shanghai. I think it sounds amazing, better in fact than the huge mono block Mcintosh system I demoed them on. Am I crazy? I would love to demo some higher end amplifiers in my home with these to see. With the Cayin they are so damn explosive at times it is scary and very fleshed out. BUT always curious about going to the next level. Would love to try some other options and looking for suggestions.

Scott, How are you liking your Sony? How does it compare to others you have had? Same question for you Mr Bill.
Thanks

Thanks Scott. Let me know how that new Sony works out. That's one I have been eyeing.

I do have a JL F113 sub that I sometimes turn on for movies. Thinking of selling it as i don't think even then it adds too much. Tritons bass is very tight and deep after the passive radiators break in. Give them 60-100 hours before making any opinions on them. I left them on fairly loud over a 3 day weekend when we went on a trip. When I got back home they were good to go. The sub in the Triton is just integrated beautifully with the rest of the spectrum once you get the level set. Much better integration than I have been able to achieve blending in subs. I find myself turning them down more as they break in. The great thing though is if you feel like having some drinks and being pummelled with bass you can turn the subs up a notch and they don't muddle up the midrange.
