High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must

Innersound ESL (now Sanders Sound), Parasound Halo A21, BelCanto S300, there quite a few really good ones out there.

Coda

Rowland 501 Monos have gotten it done for me.

Wyred 4 Sound ST1000

One of the Musical Fidelity big integrated. They weigh about 110 pounds [separate power supply] and put out more power than you are likely to need. I have the smallest one , the NuVista M3, which is 275 into 8 about 500 into 4 and close to 900 into 2 with one channel driven. The 500 is , of course 500 into 8 and the 550 , well, you know. The TriVista is between the M3 and the 500. The bad news is they have 4 tubes in the front end, the good news is that they are very small and cheap and last 100,000 hours. Or 20 years of time left on. They have excellent highs and VERY tight bass but not the brightness you are talking about. I also cannot stand this. I have been a confirmed SS user since 1964 so don't worry about these having a "Tubey" sound. These will run from around $2100 to $5000 depending on model and condition, I don't know of anything else with the performance for the money. Also very well built.
