Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ?

I have clearly a predisposition to single ended and Class A design. Push pull does not apply. The speakers are a demanding load though. They go down to 3.8 ohms.

Parallel balanced output is not single-ended output. You have to read his website more carefully or just believe it and get an XA160 and be happy! Arthur
