Power Amp suggestion

Would love to hear recommendations on replacing the power amps in my system. Current system is Roon Nucleus+ Server, Chord DAVE DAC, Audio Research Ref 6SE, Bryston 28 SST2 monoblocks, B&W 802 D3. Cables are all Synergistic Research Galileo/Atmosphere . Have not heard the Swiss uber expensive equipment but would Soulution or CH Precision make any sense?

Power Amp suggestion

Would love to hear recommendations

Stereophile: B&W 802 D3
The magnitude drops to 3 ohms between 100 and 130Hz, and again between 670 and 770Hz; and while the electrical phase angle is low in the lower region, it becomes increasingly inductive above 600Hz, reaching +46° at 1kHz, where the magnitude is 4 ohms. There is also a combination of 4 ohms and –64° at 69Hz, implying that this speaker does require an amplifier that is not upset by a low effective impedance.

The Bryston 28 SST2 monoblocks are a great match to drive these speakers with, the only amp I can think of to improve a bit on this, would be a Gryphon Antillion and with that you can dial in your own amount of Class-A "sweetness bias" up to 100w. and still have far more left over in class-a/b.

Wow, 28 Sst  monos   
 Almost every move you can make will be sideways.
almost.  Keep them, or send them into bryston for a checkup. 
 Those amps are simply superior to a lot of what is out there these days!

 Shut everything down for a few months, then listen again to appreciate your amazing setup!

Great system. It's not the equipment that's lacking. Stay put.
