Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II


Currently I'm using a Sonic Frontier Power 3SE+, SF Line 3SE+ and Modwright Transporter with my Andra IIs. For the summer, I'm looking for a SS integrated amp that could drive my Andra IIs. All the tubes in my system can get too hot in the summer to enjoy the music.

Can someone recommend a SS integrated that can drive the Andra? I'm thinking Pass INT-150, Gamut DI-150, Rowland Continuum 500 and McIntosh MA7000.

Thanks!

Tvad,
I use the Pass XA100.5 with my Eggleston Rosa (87dB, 6ohm) and I would not go with less power in my 15'X 16'X 7.5'room. They do control the two 6" woofers better than my old XA160 did. But I would say that the XA60.5 could not adaquately power the Andra II in a 24X19 room. But any of the larger X.5 or XA.5 should be fantastic with that speaker.

Tvad,
That's a good decision. In fact, I am thinking about a more efficient speaker in my sytem too. Something around 90+dB. The Rosa just seems to lack big impact with horns and drums. And I think the issue is speaker/amp matching. I want to keep my Pass amp/preamp combo and explore speaker options.
