SS amp/preamp suggestions for Avalon Arcus?

hi,

i'm looking for a good SS amp & preamp combination (or integrated) for my new avalon arcus speakers. i'd like to stay under $3000 total. i'd consider new or used/demo stuff. btw, if you're not familiar with these speakers, they are 2-way floorstanders with a great open sound but only so-so sensitivity...so i probably need at least 100 watts/ch. the listed nominal impedance is 4.5 ohms.

i prefer a very detailed and accurate sound, as opposed to a "warm" tube-like sound. soundstaging and imaging are big priorities too. any help is appreciated.

thanks.

Try the Muse Model 160 amp and the Model 3 preamp. There
is definitely a great synergy between the Avalon's and the
Muse. Please refer to Muse's website @ www.museelectronics.com. By the way if you want more power
I am selling my model 175 monoblocks for close to what the
160 retails for. You should be able to get the 160 and the
model 3 for your budget. Regards and take care.
