which of these four amps for Wharfedale Elysian 4's?


just landed these speakers on a whim and have some local used amps available right now, tight on budget due to cost of speakers and can upgrade to a higher end amp later  .....specs show these as 4ohm 92db  sensitivity,

available to me at the moment

Yamaha A-S2200

Ayre V-5xe

Parasound A21+

Kinki EX-M7

which of those four might work best to start?

please and thanks

I heard your speakers and was very impressed. They have solid bass and really good micro-detail capabilities. Ayre V-5xe excels at imaging and transient responses, which would work well with your speakers. Some people describe the Ayre’s sound characteristics as clinical/dry. With certain speakers I could see that. Wharfedale’s tend to sound pleasantly warm, to my ears, which has me thinking they would work well with the Ayre; creating a balance of revealing (Ayre) and musical (Elysian 4).

What's your preamp. I liking the Parasound because of the EMT tweeter. Wires and preamp will make a big difference.
