Hmmm... I own a AVA SET 120 which is the amplifier part of the Control Amp. The preamp part is mostly passive IIRC, so I doubt that is adding much coloration. Your note suggests that the amp is bright, which I don't find at all. Looking at your speakers, they are known to be a bit bright and detailed - I suspect the AVA SET which has good extension and is pretty neutral (Frank says ruler flat - I would say just a hint of warmth in the mids and a little sweetness on top) may be just revealing more than your previous amp.
You don't give a budget, but I currently use Dynaudio Excites 34s with the AVA. I expect any of the Dyn's would work well. Elac probably would also be a good match given your predilections.
