What amp to match with Conrad Johnson Premier 16/2

Hi, I have a CJ Premier 16 Mk 2 and am considering getting either a Gamut D200, a PS Audio HCA-2. I have Vienna Acoustics Strauss speakers (very similar to the Mahlers).

All and any input and hints welcome.

You really can get the best of both worlds. I don't know if Jeff Rowland is in your price range but I use my 16 with the Model 10 and it is an excellent match. It seems to bring out the best of both pieces in my system.

I stack the units on top of each other as the stock connecting cord is only about 6 inches long. The amplifier is rated at 150 watts per channel and for the most part runs quite cool. As I only have the chance to listen on the weekend, I turn it on Friday night and off on Sunday pm. By Sunday, the top of the power supply is warm to the touch only. Hope this helps.
