Amp recomendations for WATT/puppy v6.


Hi i recently placed a deposit on some Wilson Audio WATT/puppy v6's. The seller has been using Nuforce REf9 v2SE power amps and i think its a matching P9 pre. Does anyone have experience with this combination? If you had the Wilsons what set up would you use?
Kind regards,
Joe.

Well the Nuforce package is approx $8000.00 Australian so somewhere in that range.
Cheers
Im open for suggestions! My current system is hafler DH-220 & matching pre-amp and yamaha NS-1000 speakers so im sure you can appreciate my inexperiance in audiophilia!
Hi I owned WP 6's for about 5 years. Now have WP 8's.

I guess you have to decide first if you want tubes or solid state or maybe tube pre and solid state amp. Your Wilsons are VERY revealing of anything. I am assuming you set them up perfectly according to the manual? If not, I'd pay a Wilson deal to set them up. It makes a big difference.

Do you want to by new or used? I had recent issue with one of my amps, barrowed a BAT VK300x integrated amp. It was killer. Tube pre, solid state amp.

Lots of combo's from ARC, BAT, VTL, Ayre. They all sound a little different. Certainly the NuForce you've heard is a consideration. This is hard to decide, it's best to listen some, but I know we can't always to that.

Also, do a search here on Watt Puppies. Several have asked before.
I would use conrad johnson to try and get some musicality out of those speakers. I heard them through Mark Levinson electronis as well as rouge and krell and on all occasions they were dry and sterile to my ears.
