looking for a warm ss amp....


for my paradigm studio 40s. i hate a bright treblely sound! i currently use signal cables and a denon 3802 reciever. i have had many people tell me to go with bryston or anthem, but both have been out of my price range so far. which of these have a warmer sound? how would rotel or b&K amps sound with my speakers? they seem to cost much less. since i can only buy used, i really do not have the opportunity to audition the different amps. i will continue to use the denon as my pre-amp.

Agree with DennisJ. If your preamp is mediocre then it doesn't matter how good the rest of your system is.
What I was suggesting above was a McIntosh MC250...I cant say enough good things.
I was wanting to use the Denon to power my center, surrounds, and outside porch speakers as well as for Dolby Pro Logic II (T.V.), 5CH Stereo (I like this one certain types of music), Dolby Digital (DVD), ect. I know alot or preamps can do all this but I don't have $1000 plus to spend. I feel like the Denon at 110 WPC isn't strong enough and can't control my Paradigm Studio 60 speakers. I have ordered the Studio 40s for another room. The best bet may be to keep the Denon for the larger Living Room where I will mostly watch movies with the Studio 40s, and then get a amp and preamp for the smaller music listening room where I will keep my Studio 60s. I know the 60s should go into the larger room, but my wife says they will not fit with what she has planned. How much do I need to spend to get that very clear warm sound that I am looking for? What preamp do you suggest then? My funds will be limited to around $1200 for amp and preamp.
