What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers

Just received my new Wilson Sasha DAW speakers and am now beginning to sift through a long list of electronics that would bring out the best in them. If anyone owns these and could give some recommendations I love to hear them. I’m open to tube or solid state. Looking for amps and preamp. All opinions are appreciated.

I certainly understand the need for accuracy in a system however it’s not my priority. Maybe the word warm is not the best description. I guess what I mean is organic or real.   Just as sound engineers brings the recording into a mix they feel is right and enjoyable so it is that we  design our systems in such a way that draws us in. One that is involving and makes us want to listen.  That can be different for each of us. What I have found over the years is that there are many system that can sound completely different from each other but still draw you in and captivate you in different ways.  I heard both tubes and solid state do this well but in different ways. This is why I ask for opinions because many of you achieve this in different ways, ways that I have not yet experienced. That why I love this hobby there are endless possibilities.

"Get a Parasound Halo A21. A great amp designed by John Curl. There are several now available on EBAY. Around $1400. Spending more for a different amp is just throwing money away! The A21 is competitive with any five-figure amp!"

@roberjerman   You are obviously satisfied with mediocrity.

Actually, I think there are a lot of extremely wealthy people who love music who could easily live with a Halo A21.  There comes a point where a kind of neurotic need for some elusive, mostly never achieved equipment goal, outweighs the simple pleasure of listening to music.

Dear @initforthemusic  : I don't know the Halo 21 ( I never listened. ) but the Parasound JC1 monobloks are far away of that mediocrity/average quality performance and competes with any amplifiers you can name it, at any price.

Yes, whealty gentlemans could never think to buy Parasound because is not enough expesive and maybe the Parasound name preclude that they been a proudly owners.

Room/sistem quality performance levels depends mainly of the owner MUSIC/audio knowledge level and his priorities. Money could means nothing with out that true knowledge levels. Mediocrity/average quality performance belongs to a low knowledge levels.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
