Amplifier for avantegarde duo 2.2?


A friend owns these speakers, he would like to know which amps others are using that match well with these wonderful speakers? He has a small listening room, and uses vinyl and a cd player for source. The preamp will be determined after amp is chosen.

Apparently, these work well with Avantgardes: (http://tomevansaudiodesign-usa.com/_wsn/page4.html) You might inquire from these guys as to the combo's traits, since they sell both lines; (http://avantgardeaudio.com/index.html) Any high quality SET amp will work well. Keep in mind: Any noise/system shortcomings will be magnified as if by an electron microscope. These speakers are unmerciful in their adherence to the truth.
Best in my experience is the Lamm ML2; others include Art Audio PX-25 and Audiopax 88.
The Lamm is for sure, but in real world don't break the bank money... take a look at the SAP stuff as did Steve Rochlin of Enjoy the Music when reviewing said item.
