need amp for Prima Luna Prologue 3 preamp

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a Prima Luna Prologue 3 preamp and would like to pair it up with a 250 wpc solid state amp to use with my Magnepan MMG's.

The MMG's will be upgraded to the 1.7 in due time. I recently sold a Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated Amp 250 wpc which mated well with the maggies but I wanted a little more warmth in the top end, so back to separates.

So far I've only considered the McCormack DNA-250 SS amp. My budget is no more then $2,500.00

Would appreciate any advice.

If you can get the McCormack more power to you.
My thoughts drift to McIntosh power amps, you would be forced get an older one with about 200 wpc. You might be able to find one on your price range. Yes it would be a vintage amp but if you buy from a good dealer AudioClassics etc. you might be surprised. No one else has even attempted a suggestion - so either settle for a digital amp or an older one. What you really seem to want is a fairly high power class A SS amp for class D money. You might be able to get away with less power and you could play around with highly class A biased amps but they sound class A/B to me. And some amps just sound good regardless of class.
