Amp recommendations for Joseph Audio Perspectives2


I bought a pair of Joseph Audio Perspectives (Graphene 2 upgraded) and they will arrive next week. I am looking for amp recommendations now.

Currently I am using prism sound DA1 as source, Schiit freya + as tube pre. I also have a CJ pv5 tube pre and really enjoyed the Conrad Jonhson midrange presentation. I am thinking of upgrading the pre to higher end CJ line in near future (like a used CJ GAT?).

Previously I was using only SS amps with tube pres in ATC speaker system since they have a hard load. I tried a bunch of SS (Krell 402e, Pass xa30.8, Nord nc500, Benchmark ahb2, Mivera 1200), they all sounds nice in their own way but I feel the piece that makes the most difference in my system is the CJ pv5 tube pre. It brings out the 3d soundstage and liquid mids that I was looking for with each amp it paired with.

I love rich liquid golden midrange. So for amp, should I use a tube amp to achieve this goal? I searched around the discussions and what is available in the used market and a couple that interest me now are:

VAC Renaissance 70/70 Mk III
Jadis defy -7 Mk 2
VAC Phi 200
Conrad Johnson Premier 12 (NA in used market now, only a premier 140)

I prefer stereo unit to monoblocks. It will be even better if the amp can produce less heat. I live in CA and it is pretty hot in the summer. But if I have to go that route to get the best sound I want, then it is what it is.

Any recommendation (not necessarily to be the amps mentioned above, can also be ss) or advices are welcome.

@elliottbnewcombjr I don't have official number for the sensitivity but I got it from the discussions that is would be around 84db to 86db 2.83v/m. 

David Joseph recommend the power to be > 60wpc. 


Btw, I heard the speakers paired with a Wells Audio innomorata ss amp and it is amazing.

I would throw in options of SS that I am interested (which I read or heard that sounds close to tube amp):

Wells Audio Innomorata (no used listings shown right now)
Luxman m900u
@twoleftears  I think one of the designers told me it is recommended to have > 60wpc. Thanks for the suggestion. The LTA ZOTL40 looks compact!
I used Wells Audio Innamorata II with my Perspective 2. They sound glorious. The amp doesn't get too warm and looks beautiful.
There is a pair of PL's monos on ebay up for bid, start at $1600, can't go wrong there,,,but you will needa  good pre.
ck out my Lite LS9 Chinese all tube pre up for sale.
