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?

Price could range up to $2500. Can you give some suggestions for "not mass market..quality power."

Musical Fidelity M5si or even the M3si or a Rogue Sphinx.

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.

 

Kinki Studios is an undiscovered gem.  I have one in my second system.  I run tubes in my primary.

For value and sound quality, the Marantz PM7000N is tough to beat. The NAD C388 maybe Class D Hypex, but with well implemented power supplies and 150/250 w/Ch 8/4 Ohms, a modular upgradeable architecture, it also is hard to beat.
