I need a SET amp to match my Dude Pre.

I have 98db Daedalus Ulysses speaks. I just recently took delivery of a Dude preamp. I want a SET amp that the Dude can shine through. The SET will have to have the ability to stage, resolve and have freq ext just like my world class pre. But MOST important I need a emotional and musical connection. I feel the Dude is a destination pre and I need a SET amp that can also carry that designation. 16 watts and up seems about right as my friend brought over his Melody AN211 (integrated). It was sublime and actually made me smile. Now I am searching for that sound quality with the staging abilities of the Dude

Berony,
A good 845 tubed SET would fit your needs.I understand Melody makes a
very good example. You have many good 845 amps on the market these
days.Is there a particular price range? Viva, NAF, Audion, Sophia Electric,
there are certainly other good choices.Another option PSET with the 300b
tubes for similar power range. With your plans you'll have an excellent
music making system.At CES a few weeks ago I heard the Triode CORP
(Japan) PSET 845 amplifier (50 watts) , it was simply fabulous.
