Matching amp for Talon Khorus

Hi Audiogoners,
I am calling Talon Khorus's owners for opinions and experiences.
I'm building a new system around Talon Khorus X(CMRC Upgraded). The rest are BAT31se, Sony 777ES cd player, Quatro fill, Golden cross i/c cables, Shunyata power cables....
At budget 3k-5k, What amp (either Tube or SS)should be on my short list to take most advantages of the full potential of these speakers to be good matching for classical instrument, vocal, jazz and modern opera....
I would also appricate all adivses, comments from whom with current experiences with Talon Khorus X.
Thank you all and Happy Listening
Best Regards,

Millerdson.

Nti75,

Mike does not run BAT tubes in his own system, FYI.

Happy Listening.

Millerdson,

I might be late on this thread? I am a Talon Khorus owner who ran 2 Mono Bat Vk-60's for some time in my 34' x 16 x 8.5 listening room. I also use a Bat Vk-3i pre-amp & still do, however the Vk-60's are gone. I have been running Bryston 7b-st's Mono's for over 9 months now, & am overly impressed without missing the tubes. The Vk-60's with my room size just did not have the juice to unleash the low end of the Khorus's, without adding a Roc sub. The 7b-st's, & the Talon's are a grand match, & I think they'll hang around for awhile!

Best SS amp or amp I have owned on my Khorus XII's are Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. They are much better than even the Bruce Moore Dual 70 on these speakers. First time I have really heard my speakers! Just brought them alive.
