Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?


I have an Ayre CD player, BADA Alpha DAC, deHavilland Mercury pre-amp, CJ MF-2500A amp and N802 - am looking to upgrade amp.
Would like to hear views on Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution.
Not married to tube or SS..
Always wonder about Stereophile recommended components such as Aesthetix Atlas, Parasound JC-1, CJ LP-125 and the likes. I would pay about $5k on Agon so there are some limitations.
Thanks.

The BCs are petite yet smooth and dimensional, refined, powerful and very nice looking. Not unlike a classy world class supermodel/female athlete. So as amps go, I have no qualms settling for that. They were a stretch for me even used, but worth it in the end.
Oh I am sure he is not done yet P59. He has only been talking about the multi-dimensionality of certain amps in this thread. Amps that coincidently are the ones he sells.

He hasn't started talking about how certain amps have "talent". Amps that again are the ones he happens to sell.

Its strange though, I keep looking for specifications for "dimensionality" and "talent" in an amp so I don't make a mistake and buy the wrong ones. But I have yet to find these specs in anyone's literature. I guess we'll just have to ask Bo, who coincidently happens to be an audio salesman.
Very good assessment, Paraneer. I found it very informative, even though some of it is obvious...to me anyway.
Stage depth and wide can be created by all parts in a system. In over 15 years I am in this business you hear many many amps, sources, speakers and cables etc. Wenn I use the words properties/talents I talk about how is the stage build of the part you test. What is the sound? Is it warm, clean or more to natural. How is the speed and timing? How much weight and drive does it give. And how much detail/resolution it can give. And how sharp is the individual focus of instruments and voices? How is the level of blacks. Blacks is the space between the instruments and voices with there acoustic information were they were recorded. Wenn instruments and voices become more palpable were they stand the level in blacks is higher. Wenn you have done so many tests you easily can give everything you test properties/talents. Wenn I listen to a set within 10 seconds I know what there is and what is missing.( with my own music) You use the right properties to complete the parts which are missing.
