Solid State amp to go with Audible Illusions Modulus 3a preamp


I recently acquired a newly factory refurbished Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Preamp. I was wondering if any one with the experience with this famed vintage preamp could recommend a solid state amp that would pair well.

I am currently using a Willsenton R8 in El-34 mode with a Hsu sub woofer wired using High level inputs. My speakers are vintage Linn Nexus 2 way stand mounts at about 86db efficiency. My current set up sounds excellent to my ears.

I came into this tube based preamp on a whim, and wonder if it can compete with the R8 with solid state amplification. I would like to wire the sub using high level inputs from the amp if possible.

Thanks

I am using my AI Modulus 3A with a Parasound A21+ powering OHM Walsh tall 3000 speakers. All works well and sounds great to me.

My buddy owned an AIM3a and I've always wanted to pair up my upgraded Class A Pass Forte Audio 1a/3 up with one. I'll be consolidating systems and won't get the chance, yet this came to mind when I saw your post. Best of Luck. 

decoony... any chance you will be parting with the Forte Audio 1a/3 when you consolidate? Fingers crossed...
