Amp for Martin Logan

I just purchased a set of Ascent i speakers and a Decent sub from a friend that moved up to Summits. I have a Resolution Audio Opus 21 and Cat SL1 mkii pre. I am looking for an amp under $2K. I love tube mids but don't think I can afford a tube amp that will drive the Logans. Is there any SS amps that can give me the mids and still drive the highs and bass? Or how about a tube amp in my price range? Any suggestions?

yes pal, altho they dip to 1 ohm at high freq, there isn't a lot of musical infromation at that freq.

VTL ST 150 would do it and sound magical. i've heard VTL + Logan, and it's a sweet match

the integration on the vantage is the best i've heard yet on a logan, it's very good. even tho there is an internal amp for the woofer, the bass takes on the character of the amp you pair it with... with my cary 805c, the bass is full and fleshed out.

now, in comparison to some audio note AN-E's that i heard over the weekend, it does not compare in terms of integration, but in terms of transparency and imaging, the vantage spanks the audio note.
