Please help me find an amp

Hello everyone, I haven't been able to stay up to date with the latest trends and new audiophile products.

I was hoping I could rely on your expertise to pick an amplifier either a single-chassis dual-mono design or mono blocs that:

-extremely low noise floor,
-slightly warm but not bloated,
-can retrieve subtle nuances, low-level detail
-quality at low volumes,
-preferably slightly forward as opposed to reserved, bright as opposed to dark...
-PRAT, bass...
-power efficiency and power consumption must be low, or lower than it's peers.
-versatility ( I listen to virtually everything, and might occasionally watch a movie in stereo )
-should be able to make sub-90db speakers "sing"

I'm not against tubes but would prefer to have either a high maintence woman or a high maintenance piece of electronic equipment, not both :)

Not even sure such a product exists, probably not...but had to try :)

Given the efficiency of you speakers you might go with the Rowland Continuum 250 or the Rowland Capri pre-amp and the 201 monoblocks or the 102 stereo amp.

You need to make your amp and pre-amp choice together. They don't have to be the same brand, but your objectives would point toward something like Rowland, Bel Canto, or a couple of others.
