What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers


Just received my new Wilson Sasha DAW speakers and am now beginning to sift through a long list of electronics that would bring out the best in them. If anyone owns these and could give some recommendations I love to hear them. I’m open to tube or solid state. Looking for amps and preamp. All opinions are appreciated.

Hi 4425:
I have that combo. The ref 160s and Alexia 2s. It is an extraordinary combo. My personal favorite of all the amplifiers I have heard with Alexias regardless of price.
Hi 4425:
1-i prefer ultra linear mode
2-build quality is great and they are very cool looking amps although in the first few runs, the see through double pane plastic on the face of the amps in which the meters are sited are not as clear as I would like. I believe ARC may have solved the problem in later runs. I love the meters and they do not distract from the presentation. 
3-These are simply great all around amps with the typical ARC broad macro presentation but with very revealing micro dynamics and powerful deep bass. I love them. My personal opinion is that ARC and VTL are the best tube amps for Wilson. And I prefer tubes over solid state although I am also a fan of D’agostino solid state with Wilsons.
Hi carey1110:
I have a Ref 40 pre and a Ref Phono 2 phono stage. My cables are mainly Shunyata Anaconda Zitron although I use MIT for my Spectral cdp and Audioquest WEL signature reference for phono cable.
