Eternal it really depends on budget, personally have always felt that the Classe amps are a little on the dark side of neturality.
The Golden Ear Reference tend to be a bit on the warmer/softer side therefore an amplifier with great transparency and punch in the midrange would be our recommendation.
Therefore, like Stereo5 said a warmer amp like CJ or Classe would not be our first pick, amplifiers with great transparency are Hegel, and Nuprime belive it or not has launched a new version of their older reference amps which were fantastic.
Also there is a strong buzz from TJ anyway on the new Coda Series 8 amplifer. Coda stuff is fantastic slightly warm, just a smidge but not dark, fast clean great punch and many of their amplifiers run class A for anywhere from 5-25 watts, totally a sleeper.
