Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines

Hi Audiogoners,
I am having the combo Shindo Aurieges, Montille EL84 with the Nines and I would like to get some feed back from experience owners of Shindo and Devore on choosing the match amp for the Aurieges to run with the Devore. I cannot afford the more expensive Shindo, hence the question. Please let me know of any other amp which can match with the Shindo preamp I am having and have enough power to drive my speakers.
I am listening to all kind of music from Classical to Heavy metal.
Thanks,
Calvin

The Line Magnetic amps will sound good but they will not have quite the Shindo sound. Do you just need more power?

How much of the Shindo sound will I be lost if i use the Shindo pre with LM amp?

That speaker is very friendly to tubes, but you do need a bit of power. Our M-60s drive them quite well; so you have a wide range of tube amps to work with!

Have you tried using your Montille with the Devores yet? I would think the Montille would drive them just fine for the most part in a small to medium sized room. And I had the c-j premier 11A once upon a time it would be a huge downgrade in sound quality over what you have now.

I have used the combo for more than two years. As your all opinions so far:
1. Go with LM, more power but not the same as Shindo.
2. Atma Sphere M60s. Over my budget.
3. CJ will fit my budget but huge downgrade.
I will keep the conbo for a while and wait for a chace to upgrade to a real Shindo like Montrachet.
Thanks gents. I appreciate your inputs.
