Golden Ear Triton 1 what front ends match well

I bought a pair of these about 2 weeks ago and now have about 50 hours on them. Curently pairing with a Cayin 265ai which is a 40W class A chinese integrated I paid about $600 for in Shanghai. I think it sounds amazing, better in fact than the huge mono block Mcintosh system I demoed them on. Am I crazy? I would love to demo some higher end amplifiers in my home with these to see. With the Cayin they are so damn explosive at times it is scary and very fleshed out. BUT always curious about going to the next level. Would love to try some other options and looking for suggestions.

I also have a NAD D3020 I swap to for kicks. Sounds nice at low-mid volumes. Just ordered the newer Sony ES integrated to match with my HAP so we'll see about that soon. Yes we will. If I dig it, the Cronus is going on the block, as decided to go matchy matchy.

Thanks Scott. Let me know how that new Sony works out. That's one I have been eyeing.

Mofojo, do you run a subwoofer with your triton ones? How is the speed, accuracy and bass in the speakers sound compared to a sub? I recently sold my sub(SVS PB13 Ultra) I had with my Casta Model D8's(recently sold) and purchased Casta Model C's. These C's have one 2" horn tweeter , one 17" horn midrange and a 15" bass driver in each. So these go pretty low. Basically replaced the sub. Curious on your impressions of your powered subs built in to your speakers.
