B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier

Thanks everybody for the comments. I will focus my search on solid state amp(s). So far I have Simaudio Moon w5 on my radar and I am curious about CJ MF 2500A.. Parasound seams like a good suggestion (will have to do some reading on their models) .. Are Parasound amps reliable? Do they retain value over time ? Any other suggestion for a secondhand amp in approximately $1500 - $2500 price range that would go well with CJ PV 12 and B & W 801 S3 ?

Parasounds IME are very reliable which is probably why they have one of the strongest warranty's, 5 years parts and labor. Of all the brands that I have custom installed, other than possibly McIntosh, they give me the least problems.

PS- It is the Halo line from Parasound that IMO are an excellent match with 801's.

801s deserve better.

Rrog, Should I assume that your comment refers to Parasound? By the way , I appreciate your straight to the point message.
I have read about Parasound A21 ( I do not think I can score JC1's in my price range) and somehow I feel more conformable spending $2500 on a 5 + years old amp than on a new one.
Any alternative to Mark Levinson that you already recommended ? How would my first choice (at least for now) Simaudio Moon W5 compare to Levinson?
Is there anybody who has had 801 S3 and Moon W5 ?
I do not think I gen get CAM 350 that Vegasears recommended for $2500 or less ? What other Classe amp would be a good match with 801s? I have not had a chance to listen to a Classe amp. I am looking for a rich , full sounding (not lean ) and not bright amp. Do Classe amps generally fit that description?
Does anybody have a experience with Classe & 801 S3 ? How would the combo CJ PV 12 , Classe amp and 801 work ?
