Amp suggestions to pair with eggleston

Hello everyone,

I am setting up my 5.2 multichannel system/HT. The speaks are four eggleston fontaine's, one andra center and two revel b15a subwoofers. I listen to music more often. And maybe I will upgrade the main speakers to andra II's in the future.

I prefer lexicon mc12b-v5eq as my preamp. But I am very confused with hifi preamp and power amp. Is tube amp more suitable for eggleston? And the seller recommended Edge, IcePower, Hypex.

If you can give me any comment or experience,I do apreciate it.

ps, I am an international user. The amp can work for 220v is required.

Best regards
David

Another option is the new Bryston square series. I've heard very positive comments and they comes in different configurations. You can get mono for L and R and multi for the rest. A BIG plus is they sound great from cold and max performance only after an hour. This save $$ on electricity and not heating up the house in the summer sitting idled.

Currently I'm using a pair SF Power 3SE+ and the sound is excellent. For a tube amp, it has enough current to drive my Andra II to satisfactory levels without compression and control.

I was using a Krell FPB 600 and it was also a great match. Compare to the SF, it's the typical SS / tube + and -.
