Thanks everyone for the tips and advice! A dealer friend offered me a good deal on Plinius SA 103 out of the blue so I think I will give them ago, they look pretty cool too! I'll be sure to drop a line here when they are set up after a few hours of listening. Thanks again.

Cheers Tim :)

I also recommend BAT tube mono blocks.

I also had Anniversario with sa103, notice that one is not enough, the speaker is very current hungry. Use 2 as monos and it's fine!

BUT in any case a nice tube preamp with Plinius and rca connection.
Plinius preamps are not that good.

BAT also are fine match with Anniversario.

Really, Classe is not a US manufacture plus they have mainly gone the home theater route. :)

I'd like to hear those speakers on Audio Research gear. You could almost fit the REF 100 amp and REF 5 preamp in the budget.

You should also look into Ayre MXR amps. They should match well with Amati. I used to own the SF Memento and the amps matched well with the speakers.
