Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers?

Although Flex is correct, the DMC30sl is a much better preamp, than the original DMC-30, and has a smoother, and larger soundstage than the DMC-30s. Though it will be tough to find a DMC-30sl used; I lucked out. I forgot, a very low
cost way to go is Muse with the Muse 3 preamp and Muse 300
monoblocks. A very livable alternative until the savings account is full.

Albert,
According to Avalon site they had 3 rooms this year:

Opus Ceramique with Muse
Eidolons with Accuphase
Eidolon Diamonds with Ayre

As many of you guys I prefer Eidolons with high power tube amp,but I seriously doubt that either Tenor or tube Lamm amp would be a really god match with Eidolons.

BTW, Lloydj , having a right room with Eidolons is equally important ( if not more so ) as having right amp.

Agreed, Nar com. The Tenor and Lamms were shown with Kharmas at CES. It's very unlikely that the Tenors could drive the Eidolons well, though others have occasionally reported good synergy between the Eidolons and Jadis or CAT tube amps that are also probably underpowered.

Kharma was my first choice at CES, Avalon Diamond was a close second. I must remember the Tenor amps driving Rockport and Kharma.

The Avalon Diamond must have been in the Ayre room. This is the best effort to date from Avalon. I ask if the diamond tweeter was the reason for the much improved sound and was told about changes to the crossover in addition to new drivers. I understood that to mean midrange as well as the new diamond tweeter.

If Soundlab were not available, I would have two excellent box speakers as alternatives. I'm not certain Kharma or Avalon would fill my 7,700 Cubic foot space as well as Soundlab, but they are the only other speakers I have ever heard that excited me with their performance.

Albert, the Kharma's just might fill your room. Before moving the Ceramique 1.0's into my basement listening room, I tried them in my great room which is roughly 6700 cu. ft. They sounded marvelous with a 60 w/ch integrated!

I haven't heard the soundlabs, but from your accounts and some others, I'm sure they are special.
