I liked what Rayhall said and would add... I have Aleph 2 monos and after looking around a lot two years ago I bought a ARC Ref 2 mkII. I run balnaced. It mates well with the 2s. Big sound stage and good dynamics. My phono pre is a Ayre P-5x. It all works well.
Full discloser, I will be replacing my 2s in the next year, which drive Vandy 5As, with something with more power. Looking for Tubes.
I'm not pushing ARC but they or something in that range of sound might be the ticket.
