I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!!


Hello Everyone!
First I really appreciate any input you might have for me!

I am very new to the audiophile environment. I have a Jeff Rowland Coherence One preamp and an Oracle Delphi MK II Turntable with Alphason HR 100s tone arm, and a Micro Benz Glider M2 MC cartridge.
I also have a Parasound Dac.

I am borrowing a Bryston 3b to power my speakers.. however I need to buy my own.

Bryston is great! however I need more power for my NHT VT-2.4 speakers which has a 88db sensitivity and are 6 ohms..
However they sound great with my other pair of ADS L810 speakers which are 88db and are 4 ohms...

I would like like to buy an amp and spend about $1.000

What would you all recommend???

Best Regards
Ugur

Since the OP likes his amp (just not enough power) the obvious thing to do is to get speakers that are easier to drive! If you want good sound, don't make your amplifier work hard (or it will make distortions causing the system to sound less detailed and harsher).

Its easy to find a speaker that might be as much as 6db more efficient that won't sacrifice bandwidth or detail. That's the same as increasing the amplifier power by a factor of 4. Think about it.
