Amp for the new Watt Puppy speakers


Haven’t seen much info on these speakers since they came out. Upgraded my Yvette’s with the new Watt Puppy’s. Currently using a McIntosh MA12000 and looking for recommendations on new power. Would like to go separates but not sure if I should go mono blocks or stereo. Going to try D’agostino. What else? Open on budget.

I bought my DAWs after auditioning them on D’agostino integrated at a dealer.  They sounded good enough to buy obviously but for me the combo was a little exaggerated on top and kind of fatiguing especially on digital sources. Your mileage may vary. 
If I were to add another to your audition list, I would consider Passlabs.  All his amps are biased to stay in class A as long as possible which is more involving and addictive. In your price range you can easily snag mono versions with tons of wattage that provide awesome soundstage. If you can handle the space heater aspects, he also makes 1 and 2 chassis pure class A amps. 
I don’t own Passlabs after blowing my fun money budget on the DAWs, but they are on my list. If like me, you are on a budget for the moment, I can suggest a much less expensive alternative that punches way above its weight. Just let me know.

I recently acquired an Audionet PRE G2 and Amp 1, I highly recommend you give this brand some consideration. 

I have the new WP and they are amazing.  You’re going to love them. I bought a D’Agostino S350 to go with them and I’m very happy with how they work together.  I’m using McIntosh C2800 preamp which I already had.  Again, sounds very good but I think the C2800 is the bottleneck.  I like the sound of a tube preamp with a SS amp.  So I’m on the hunt for a good preamp.  That being said the D’Ag is an exceptional amp paired with the WP.  Others to consider would be Pass, Burmester, and AR.  Good luck and have fun!!
