Amps that are "forward"

I have always wanted forward sounding equipment and now that I'm getting older (58) when I turn the music up I don't here more detail.Any suggestions on amps and speakers and experiences by you older audiophiles would be greatly appreciated.

I believe Audio Research amps (and pre-amps) are a bit forward, all the ARC amps I have had were, a vocalist is usualy a bit in front of the "plane" of the speakers, towards you. I have gotten used to the sound that way and prefer it.

Adcom GFA 555 and GFA 555II.
The most "forward" sounding amps I've owned.

Audio Physic speakers are known for presenting a lot of detail. Their motto is, "No loss of fine detail".

Berning ZH270 is very forward, in my experience.
