Wilson Sasha DAW - Ideal Integrated Amp For Streaming

Looking forward to my delivery of the Wilson Sasha DAW's to run with my HoloSound May DAC but was looking for some help with an ideal integrated amp. I'm in a smaller room so tubes are not my choice this time. Looking for something that is smooth, warm and lush to run through my system which almost exclusively uses Qobuz or Tidal. I have a Hegel H390 now and was wondering if there was a step up out there. Not looking for dead on accurate, instead that is indeed smooth. My budget is 15k and under.

Audia Flight FLS10 at around $11k. Or depending on the actual efficiency of the Sasha's the Norma Audio IPA-140B.  Both are made in Italy.

I would also be open to separates within the same overall budget.

The best sounding integrated amplifier is the t+a hv 3100hv it is in a class above most of the integrate amplifiers out there it is in essence

 

The companies 22k power amp and 22k preamp in one chassis gor half the price of rhe seperates.

 

The t+a gear sounds very smooth yet has superb resolution and excellent drive and bass conntro it has a huge soundstage as well

You have to hear one to see see what maes this equipment so special

 

The 3100 can be further improved by adding an outboard power supply

Wow. Congratulations at buying some really great speakers! I would be really excited. These will definitely sound better from electronic upgrades far into the future.

I would look at an Audio Research Vsi 75 as a likely good match. It is detailed but stunningly warm and musical.

 

 Long term they will sound best by mating with really good separate components. As an example, see mine (my user ID).
