Amp to go with Emm dcc2 se and wilson sophias

I am looking at switching my amplification. I am currently running a Emm dcc2 se (transporter and cdsd as transports) into a MF kw500 integrated amp with Wilson Sophias as speakers. The emm can function as a preamp and dac(right now I am running line outs bypassing the pre of the emm). I am thinking about trying to run the emm straight into a power amp. Any suggestions of things to try in the 4K to 6k range used?

Thanks

I have a cheaper alternative.. Audio Research VT100 MKII used less than 3k... it was a great match with various watt pupppies I owned. Should be a really really nice match

Cary CAD-500MB should be a good match. The only problem with Carys is ... their name :-) This is why not many ppl take them seriously.

The fact it that they are superb amps. The Carys replaced $22k Lamm M1.2 Reference in my system.

You can get a pair used for $4k, a new costs $7k.
