avantgarde with SS amp recomendation


Hi AuGoNers,
due to the heat of my tubes amp,i am thinking about purchasing a back up SS amp for the summer.due to their high efficiency,i have no clue which amp would match with these speakers,seem like most SS amp are around 100w or more and i am sure these uno doesnt need that high of a power amp.i would like to keep my budget under 1k..please help

Pass Aleph 3, perhaps, but it puts out as much (if not more) as a tube amp. The best SS for the AG would be Mark Levinson ML-2's but they also put out heat and cost more.
I have not heard them, nor know how much they go for, but Pass has a new low power amp out.

I have heard the little Birdland and was impressed with that.

The First Watt is incompatible with multiple driver speakers. I have used the Avantgarde Model 5, Naim Nait 5i, and Ayre AX-7 and would recommend them in that order. The Avantargde was the best but also most expensive, the Naim very good but a little less resolution, the Ayre got tiresome after awhile.
I will second the Pass Aleph 3 recomendation. I have the Aleph 2s and the Duos. I don't use the 2s with the Duos, but have tried them and thought they sounded great. I did own the 3 before the 2s and thought that the 3 sounded a little better than the 2s overall, if the extra power was not needed. 30 watts of Aleph power would rock the house with Avantgarde speakers.
