After 20 years, in the market for a power amp

Hello:

Longtime lurker/reader of this forum. Recently my long time and beloved Odyssey Khartago shed its left channel and I had been long past ready to move on from it anyway. I am a typically slow upgrader as I am much more a listener than a tweaker. It is therefore time to invest in a new power amp. My system specs:

GoldenEar Triton Ones

Rega P8 TT w/Apheta 3 

Aria phono amp

Primaluna Dialogue Premium p/a

Rotel 1570 CD spinning into a Schiit Yggdrasil

Odyssey Khartago Power amp

AntiCable interconnects

AudioQuest speaker cable

The Khartago, while wholly competent, has long since since been bypassed by the rest of my gear. Looking for something with some synergy with the Primaluna.

Budget $5-7k. Been researching feverishly but it is difficult to get an audition. Suggestions?

PSAudio Stellar M1200 hybrid monoblock amplifiers.  These are helluva amps for sure.

If I were you I would demo a CODA and AGD Audions  (Class D). both are great amps, can't go wrong.  At this price point make the decision in your listening room. I believe both companies will send "demos" at a reasonable expense.  Deal direct.

Orchard Audio is running their StarKrimson ganfet amp on tour. Listen for free in your system for 7 days then ship it to the next person on the list. With 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms there is plenty of power and the dynamics are amazing. It is stabile at 2 ohms and even the electrostatic speakers don't faze it. Contact Leo at Orchard Audio. You have nothing to lose.

Thanks,
