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.

Got to be very carefull with your pre's low output impedance. I've got a 17 with Premier 12s.

The benefits of staying with CJ is no system matching concerns as Mkfischer suggests. I have this very combination and find it to be excellent. If tubes is what you are looking for then Mkfischer's recommendation is an excellent one as well. Thanks, Chuck

The PS HCA2 is sonically way below the quality of your other components. So, that leaves you with the Gamut from your original either/or.
