I do own a Schiit modi3 and a Saga preamp. I am very happy with them. I am more of a tube guy and own a couple of set amps. I also own a pair of Decware Imperials. I am working on building a pair of Decware zkit 1 amplifiers. My set amps put out around 3 watts so they would not work for you.
I will make a power amp suggestion. I am thinking about getting a Crown XLS drivecore2 for my Imperials. The 1002 model ($339 list) puts out 550w@2ohms ,350w@4ohms and 215w@8ohms. It has a 3 year warranty. It is also a very versatile amp. It has a built in electronic crossover with high and low pass. Internal electronic y adapter for bi amping that would reduce interconnects/connections. It also features 1/4in jack, rca and xlr inputs. For speakers it has speakon and binding posts.
Crown’s parent company is Harman Professional and Crown has had a very strong reputation in professional audio for many years. Plus their amps are considered to be one of the best kept secrets in home theater. Read some reviews. I have seen some people compare them to audiophile amps costing 10 times the price or more. Out of all the models in the XLS line the 2002 and the 2502 have a lower noise floor.
I have heard quite a few of Crown’s products. Both in live venue and in a studio. I have a few friends who are musicians. You would need a preamp to go with it. This would make a great starter amp and could be repurposed later on as your needs change.
