Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds

I'm about to receive a used pair of Diamonds, and already have a CAT JL2 amplifier and a pair of Classe Omegas. I've heard that the CAT has great synergy, but don't know about the Classe. Typically I've heard good things about Spectron and Roland amplification with the Diamonds. Are there any other SS amps that people know work real well with the Diamonds?

Thanks, Peter

I havent heard the combination, but I would think that the JL2 you already have would sound amazing with the right tube pre-amp.

KWB - I imagine that it will make a good combo, but I was looking for solid state amp suggestions. Thanks, Peter

Both the CAT JL2 and the Omegas sound very good. I'm going to try a Musical Reference RM200 and see how that compares to the CAT.

Peter completey biased but consider karan acoustics. We showed avalons at CES several years ago and they were very well received.
