Best SS amp choice for Zu Omen

I am considering 3 inexpensive amps to drive my recently obtained Zu Omens. My NAD c326Bee is a little warm for my taste and have decided use it for a second system in my bedroom. These 3 amps I can get between $600-$800 Musical Fidelity m2si, Music Hall a70.2, or a Naim Nait 5si. In the near future I am definitely wanting tubes, but I need a little time to study up on the matter.

I know you specifically asked for SS amp options, actually I think you meant integrated amps, but if you’re flexible, there’s a Rogue Sphinx hybrid integrated currently for sale and that should be another decent option. Not mine.

Rich, thanks for your response. I've narrowed my choice of integrated's to two. A Musical Fidelity 2si  from Upscale for 599.00 or a Music Hall a70.2 demo from a local dealer for 750.00. Ever heard a Music Hall.. any good? Will use to power Epos Epic 2 and Zu Omen until I find a tube amp for the Zu's.

Audio Advisor still has the Nuforce STA 200 for $499. I know a few individuals who have it driving their Zu speakers, and are quite happy. Use your Nad as a preamp, or get a simple passive unit. I own 2, and I am very happy. Enjoy ! MrD.
