Those of you having experience with Manley Shrimp

I have purchased the Shrimp and am interested in what you are using for power amps. At this point I want to go with a solid state amp, then possibly tubes down the road. A local dealer has a used McCormack DNA-1,comments? But at the moment I am open to suggestions-want to go used-get the best bang for the buck.

A question I need to ask. Is there a certain order to follow when turning on a tube pre and ss amp. Thought I read that if you didn't follow the correct order, you get a pop through the speakers. Thanks.

I have the Tyler Acoustics Super Towers. Sensitivity is 92db with an 8 ohm impedance not dropping below 6.5 ohms. Easy speaker to drive.

Brought home a used Mccormack DNA-1 to demo. Since the Shrimp has not yet arrived, I hooked it up to the pre outs of an old Marantz 2270 I have laying around. I was quite surprised at the sound. I suppose the next question down the road (and I mean a long road) will be whether to do an upgrade of this unit or go for a new 225. Thoughts on this? Thanks.
