After 20 years, in the market for a power amp

I know there are strong opinions about class D amps and if you have a strong bias against them, I might as well shut up right now :). However if you don’t, there are a number of class D offerings featuring Hypex and Purifi modules as well as ICEpower amps by OEM manufacturers. While many will poo-poo their sonic signature or perhaps the lack thereof, class D has truly arrived. Their advantages over other more traditional architecture is well documented and quite valid. I just recently got a VTV amplifier (assembled in Ohio) featuring the Hypex NC502 module that is one of the cleanest I have ever heard. Neutral, powerful, cool running and 350-ish clean watts into 6 ohms. Physically attractive in a minimalist kind of way and 759 bucks delivered. Hard to argue with roughly $1/watt of quality amplification. This could save you a ton of money over some choices you could make and you get a 30 day trial period. If you don’t like it send it back for a refund. Warren was great to deal with and answered my questions prior to purchase. No, I am not being compensated for the recommendation. Its based entirely on my own satisfaction with what I got for my money.

sensitivity 92 seems easy; 4 ohms, compatible with 8 ohms seems easy

however, they are nominal 4 ohms, and there must be dips below that, so I would limit my list to amps that do well with 2 ohm loads.

Prima Luna EVO 200’s offer 2 ohm taps as well as 4 and 8 when used as MonoBlocks, and fit your budget

Thank you for all the responses!
 

Part of what is making this difficult is that I am actually buying not so much for the GE’s, but rather what comes down the road (which could in fact be more GE’s). So the real exercise is what pairs well the Primaluna but also with a future pair of speakers in the $10k range or higher.

I am looking to add some power for that reason. Maggies are off the table due to my room layout, but just about anything else is possible. A Pass 250.8 is probably my dream amp and within striking distance used. But I’m not married to that idea. I know there are a lot of folks on here with more knowledge than I do.

Why not stick with Klaus and go Odyssey Kismet?

Fair question. But after 20 years, I’m ready for something else. I’m a huge Klaus Bunge fan, and I’m going to be sending the Khartago in for repair and to serve as a backup amp. (I gave my old backup away) But I’m not specifically opposed to going back to Odyssey, (and have considered going to Stratos monoblocks, but I lack adequate space for them)
