Tube amp recommendations to drive Joseph Audio speakers


Looking for a tube amplifier to drive my Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene speakers.  Preamp in the system is an Audio Research Reference 2 Mk II, cables are full loom Zavfino.

 

Have been using a Pass XA25, but while detailed and clean, the sound is just a little too yin (lean) for my taste.  Want a little more tonal color, density, and bloom to the sound.

 

Hope to stay around $5K new or used.

 

Thanks!

You need a push pull amp for the higher power.  Decware ZMA is a excellent amp that mimics an SET. 40 wpc.  There are 2 currently available on the used market.  2 yr wait for new.
