ideal amps for JM Lab Utopia system


I listen to classical music.My current system consists of JM lab Utopia main,center and side speakers, and a Rel stadium III. Cello pallete equalizer, meridian 568 processor,and 508.24 cd player, two Classe 201 for the center and main and Classe 150 for sides.The Classe amps were satisfactory for the ML Prodigies but are somewhat lacking for the JM Labs. I am interested in inputs on solid state amps.I am too old to mess around with tubes.The system is in my bedroom with a volume of approximately 3500 cubic ft.

buy duet 350s they are great, I've got 2 bridged in mono to do biamp on ML Request there is no need for great power and only the performance II will outperform it, I would even put duet everywhere for the home cinema if I had the space...
But I can't, no offence you've got a great system, superb loudspeakers but classe Amps are not transparent and precise enough for the utopias, nice for surround though...

Trust me get a 2 duets 350s and bridge them, it would kill any krell, Mark levison or anything that I've heard any day

my 2c if it's worth it!

PS: you are lucky to have a palette I'm looking for one now, it is a joy to use particularly when it is required -:)
