Beware that the LS7 needs a poweramp with at least an input impedance of 60 kOhm , normally a tube poweramp has 100kOhm , just look at the specs of the ARC tube poweramps .
Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp
Speakers - B&W CDM-7NT

SS or Tube, New, or used. Looking to tame a little top end brightness, and more clarity at higher volume.
Mostly Classic Rock, Reggae, Singer songwriter stuff, with a smattering of Jazz and Bluegrass. Lots of ground to cover.
Current amp was an Arcam Alpha 10 100wpc.
Looking to spend around $1500.
Saw a used Odyssey Khartago Extreme for under $1k, but don't know much about it, other than needs to be biased to your homes electric output, and had some real good reviews. Sounds a little finicky.
Appreciate your input
