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?

@pvnasby My Primaluna Dialogue Premium is available for less than half of your budgets lower end. In silver.

I agree that it would be best to get a Primaluna amp or amps. However, if you can find a used Hegel 30a, you’ll be surprised how great it will sound with your preamp.

All the best.

I auditioned my Triton 1.r's with a Prima Luna 400 integrated, it ran out of steam during the audition and got frazzled. I am 70, the Coda s5.5 weighs 45 pounds-another reason I bought it. I can't lug heavy amps around anymore, it replaced a 140 lb beast I couldn't pick up anymore. Good luck with your search.
