Power suggestion?

I have recently acquired some OMD-15's from a member and am considering upgrading my power. I am currently Bi-Amping them through an ONKYO receiver and thus far the sound incredible to my ear.

What might be a smart upgrade power wise?

Iv'e looked at a few and just don't know a lot about amps?

Mbovaird the OMD 28's require lots of current. I'm not confident that a tube amp will deliver unless you plan to spend quite a bit for one.

Foster_9 - the more I think about it, the more I think you're right. Unless I go to something like a Carver Black Beauty, I think SS or Digital is the way to go. Maybe tube preamp and SS or Digital Amp??

With my 28s I'm using a Bryston 14BSST and Classe CP35 preamp. I'm still trying out preamps. Whatever you do regarding an amp, make sure it produces plenty of current.

Foster - give the Classe CP-800 a listen to. That's what I'm using now. I think it's outstanding.

I'd love to try the CP-800, but I won't spend that much for a preamp unless I hit the lottery.
