Good amp for Tekton lore s speakers?


I'm a long time audiophile who is finally getting a decent system together. I have an old Yamaha a1000 av receiver I use for stereo only, and just bought Teton lore s speakers as a first step to overhauling my system. I listen in a large glass room with carpets (i cant change the glass or put up room improvements) to a wide variety of music, mostly from my macbook itunes and cds, from opera to reggae to folk. I am attracted to the idea of a warm sound from a tube amp but a bit put off by the costs and the low wattage. I like to hear detail and bass at a moderate to low volume, and I like bass to have a punch, not be mushy. Right now the sound is okay but the bass is lacking, I like the mids and clarity but don't like the forward sound, which can be harsh. Can anyone recommend the best way to spend about 1500 dollars? I am using thick copper Home Depot electric wires and monster interconnects. I have pondered a dac, but am focused on an amp, but am unsure if I should try a high wattage emotiva, a low wattage zen tube, peach tree audio all in one, or if there is something else out there. Many thanks for any ideas.

I have recommended the BADA 225 hybrid integrated many times. Very nice inner detail with enough power to turn it up if you like. About 1200 at Pacific Valve with 30 day money back.

I don't know if you have solved this, I see the thread is 4 months old. As everyone has suggested, room treatments make a very nice difference in taming top end or absorbing room nodes on bass. If you cannot do much treatment, I would suggest if possible to set these up in a triangle listening pattern, pull them out from the side walls as much as possible, then have the speakers at or near a full tow (pointing at you) when in your listening position. This will cut down on room interaction and with the speakers pointing at you rather than being capable of rebounding off glass will keep the top end from peaking so much.... next an amp/pre or integrated that doesn't have edge and is smooth will help a ton. For an amp, I would recommend a First Watt... one of the 25 watt models, maybe a J or newer or even one of its knock offs... pure class A, smooth and warm... then lastly a good inexpensive pre, I'm sure you'd get a ton of recommendations for a inexpensive tubed pre... I hope this helps,

I like the Decware Mini Torii idea - after you try to do something about the room...surely you can find some window treatments to tame the reflections of the glass and some throw rugs. Again, no amp is going to help much in this situation until you fix your rooms issues.

I loved a Decware Mini Torii with a pair of Lores, bit it's biggest weakness I felt was in the bass department. An EL-34 or KT-88 based amp should give you the watts you need and much better bass. You would get vast improvement with a modest DAC also. I would spend $500 on a Tranquility Dac that pairs well with Mac's and has very nice highs and $1000 for an amp that would meet your bass and power needs. Your system is only as good as the weakest link and right now that is the computer DAC that you are using.
