Need help. I need recomendations for amp, or amp/preamp


Hi I have a pair of Unity Audio Fountainhead floorstanding speakers (Pyramid design-3 drivers, nominal 7ohms, minimum 5 ohms. I need a amplifier, or amp/preamp, integrated, solid state, or tube for them. Reviewer said they need at least 50 watts. Anyone know these speakers and what would sound great. Cost is an object, used maybe?

There’s a nice McCormack DNA 125 with the coveted SMcAudio upgrade that bring this amp to near SOTA performance levels available on USAudiomart for $1750, which is a relative bargain given the pricey upgrades we’re done in January 2022.  Pair this with something like a Schiit Freya (whichever version suits you best) and you’ll have a very nice setup.

If you might prefer an integrated there’s a Hegel H160 also on USAM if you can stretch a little, but I’d go with the pre/amp combo above, and it’s cheaper.
