Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation


Hi all,
I've got the upgrade bug and I wanted to get some advice from the community. Right now I have a pair of sopra no2's, a JL Sub, and an Anthem STR Integrated. I love the Anthem room correction so I am looking to keep it as my pre-amp OR swap to the STR Pre-Amp.

My main question is what to get for a power amp? I've read some other threads and haven't come to any firm conclusions. Soundstage and punch tend to be the main things I look for. I'm hoping to stay with some of the brands that are well known and hold their value a bit better (Anthem, Pass, Macintosh, etc). I'll probably buy used and spend $6-10k. Anyone have suggestions?

I have Sopra 2’s connected to a McIntosh MC462, Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4 preamp, Lumin U1 with XP1 power supply, & Aqua LaScala DAC. My system is in a dedicated media room. The secret is in treating the room. 

With Focal Sopra 2's I was using the Bob Carver Raven 350 WPC mono blocks running straight out from a Lumin X1. Loved the combo.
