A good sounding amp for my GoldenEar Refderence

The older Classe amps are slightly on the darker warmer side and might be lacking transparency but the latest generation of Classe Delta series such as the OP’s CA-5300 amp is very neutral with great dynamic and excellent transparency and punch. The newer latest generation of Classe Delta series amps sounded very different from older Classe amps. The latest generation Classe Delta amps sounded very transparent with excellent details, nuances, speed and excel in PRAT and very punchy.

In my dedicated HT room I do own the latest generation of Classe Delta series amps such as the CAM-600 monoblock amps, CA-2300 amps paired with all B&W 800 series D3 speaker surround system and my HT system sounding massively dynamic with lots of dynamic headroom, excellent details, transparency, clarity, speed PRAT. Actually these latest generation Classe Delta series amps excel in details, transparency and speed.
And the noise floor is unbelievably low. Very quiet design amplifiers especially the CAM-600 monoblock amps.

However, I have never heard the Classe amps paired with some Golden Ear Technology speakers before so not sure how they would pair. Well, the OP apparently has been using the Classe CA-5300 five-channel amp, which is the latest generation of Classe Delta series amp, to drive his Golden Ear speakers. But I personally have never heard the pairing before. All my Classe Delta series amps (latest generation) are paired with the newest B&W 800 D3 speaker system in my dedicated HT room. They sounded great together. Not sure how the Classe would sound on the Golden Ear speakers.

I have T1s with a XXL center.  When I went from driving the center with a multi channel Parasound A51 to a JC1 monoblock like the other two front channels, the sound cleared up and improved quite a bit.  Maybe if you used a comparable monoblock for your system to drive your center, it would help.  I'm using an old Denon AVR-X4000 processor that I hope to upgrade soon.  I've been thinking about the T Refs, but haven't been able to demo any.

Hello 12blistn
Just saw Bryston 7BSST Mono Blocks on Kijiji and will try to listen to them as soon as I can.
I have not heard of anyone pairing the Reference with Bryston but was wondering if anyone out there has heard/using them now!
Look forward to some personnal experience!

Dave & Troy,
I have read your reply to me a number of times, and tried to find Audio Doctor on the web, with no results as I do not think I have found your store.

I am asking to clarify your response about Nuprime amps that you mentioned. As I have stated before, I was going to look into mono amps from Bryston but really do not know anything about the Nuprime line.
Please comment on what you would suggest for me for the Reference speakers
