Need power amp recommendations for system

Curious why the Mytek Brooklyn amp. I’ve read a bunch about their Brooklyn and Manhattan II DACs.  I'll have to research this amp.

I read that amp list and review at least three times. That was a long and detailed review of a huge list of amps. Decware was not on my radar. My other system is a tube set up with Spatial M3 Triodes and McIntoch MC275 amp. The Decware intrigues me greatly. Line Magnetic has looked interesting for awhile.

soix - This is my first dip back into two channel audio in about 30 years. It’s my starting point. I’m currently listening to GoldenEar Triton One’s with a Parasound Halo intregrated and the VPI Prime Signature turntable. It sounds great, but I’m no audiophile and honestly, I don’t know what’s most important to me yet, nor am I trying to improve anything. The list above will be my the starting point of my main system and I’m hoping to get it right enough to not have to make many changes.

I run my Triton References with a McIntosh MC152, 150wpc power amp and that is only because It is in an all Mac system.  I experimented with amps when I first got the References last July.  I loved the sound with my Odyssey Stratos amp at 150wpc.  I also tried a Conrad Johnson MF2550 250wpc solid state amp, didn't care for it.  The music seemed very slow and thick.  The McIntosh amp I am using now is similar in sound to the Odyssey amp except there is more of everything and I am absolutely loving the sound.

Although Sandy Gross uses a low wattage tube amp to drive his References, I found tubes to make the speakers sound a little bloated . (I had a Rogue Cronus Magnum 100wpc integrated I also tried with the References).  I would stick to a good solid state amp with good headroom.  Most of the time, my amp is loafing along at 1-5 watts, but sometimes the meters can go up to 70 watts or so during high transients.  I would think that the BHK amp would be a great match with the rest of the system.  Great synergy makes a great sounding system, while poor synergy makes a great system sound poor.

Thanks for your response. I spoke with Sandy Gross last May before purchasing the Triton Reference. At that time we was running the PSA monoblocks. That definitely influenced my decision to look strongly at PSA.   I appreciate your input.

Your MC275 may be a good option with your Triton reference
and possibly the LM508ia with 47W class A Single Ended with the 
Spatial M3 Triodes.
The 47watts allows a lot of flexibility for use with other speakers down the road so would the Decware 40W class A.

Be aware the  tube assortment on the LM805ia is or can be costly.
805 output and 300b's single tubes.


If interested, read the Tone Audio review regarding the Decware ZMA
Huge power supply and more affordable tubes


Both amps can be used with or without pre-amps 
I like options and flexability

I have heard the big Rogues running Vandersteen 7’s in SanDiego at stereo Unlimited.... sublime speed and control for abtube amp, although w Vandersteen powered bass ( some would say cheating )
they also carry your speakers ( different room w Mac or VTL power )
maybe  chat w Bruce
i agree easy way out is the BHK
and it is quite good amp
