Suggestions - Amps for Coincident Super Eclipse.

I recently purchased a pair of Coincident Super Eclipse Loudspeakers .I want to get a low powered set amp for $2500.00 or less used. I would appreciate some recommendations . From what I've read the Manley and
Atmashpere amps are a good match . But are they worth the extra money ?
I see a lot of Cary 300se amps for sale are they a good match ?
Has anyone heard the 300b amps that Coincident are selling ?

Thanks for the info

Atma m-60 with Super Eclipse is as nice a match as I have heard.
Spent many hours listing to the combo.

Because of the benign load and high impedence of the speaker, the Atma-sphere's are a wonderfull choice. With most OTL's, you will get better speed and extension than an SET.

Call either Duke at Audio Kinesis or Jennifer at Jena Labs as both are Atma-sphere dealers and excellent to do business with.

I own Cary 2A3's and Manley Retro mono blocks at the moment. A good friend has the Atma MB's which he uses with Soundlabs. I would rate the Manleys as the first choice.

I would go with a little more power in a SET with the super eclipses. You should be able to get a pair of Antique Sound Labs AQ 1006 845's in your price range. They use the 845 tube and are rated at 22 w/ch. They won a golden ear award from the Absolute Sound. You may be able to find a used pair of Unison Research 845 mono's for a little more than your budget. They are rated at 24 w/ch and sound fabulous with unusual extension for a SET. If you are interested in the Antique Sound Labs, I have a pair I will part with.
