Price could range up to $2500. Can you give some suggestions for "not mass market..quality power."
Need help. I need recomendations for amp, or amp/preamp
Hi I have a pair of Unity Audio Fountainhead floorstanding speakers (Pyramid design-3 drivers, nominal 7ohms, minimum 5 ohms. I need a amplifier, or amp/preamp, integrated, solid state, or tube for them. Reviewer said they need at least 50 watts. Anyone know these speakers and what would sound great. Cost is an object, used maybe?

There’s a nice McCormack DNA 125 with the coveted SMcAudio upgrade that bring this amp to near SOTA performance levels available on USAudiomart for $1750, which is a relative bargain given the pricey upgrades we’re done in January 2022. Pair this with something like a Schiit Freya (whichever version suits you best) and you’ll have a very nice setup. If you might prefer an integrated there’s a Hegel H160 also on USAM if you can stretch a little, but I’d go with the pre/amp combo above, and it’s cheaper. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649878883-hegel-h160-integrated-amplifier/ Best of luck in your search

Take a look at a Schiit Ragnarok integrated. 60 watts a channel at 8 ohms and 100 watts at 4, all solid state -- AB, not D amplification. I don't have this model, but have been very impressed with the sound quality of the amps and preamps I've purchased from them. And, in your case, it leaves a healthy amount of money in your pocket. They also have a two week trial period (starting after you receive it) with a 5% restocking fee if you send it back.
