Looking for a SS amp for Goldenear References

Currently driving the GE Trefs with a Carver Crimson 275. The Carver impedance curve dips below 6 ohms and down to 4ohms. System sounds very good, but I’m curious if an amp better mated to lower impedance would bring out something I’m missing now.

 

Thanks for suggestions!

I use a BAT VK-255SE. By far the best SS amp I've owned. Resolution is awesome, soundstage is vast and (frequency) dynamic range unbelievable. Goto the BAT website and read about its special design features (not to mention Victor is a certified genius!).

Parasound is probably going to be a good match.

Buy a Topping PA5 ($349). Superior sound and way more powerful than the overpriced Carver 275. The 275 is a real dog of an amp and does not meet its specs. It is a disgrace that Bob Carver puts his name on this piece of junk!
