amplifier choice


currently have a Mcintosh c42 preamp and would like to find an amplifier to match it with. Most current Mcintosh amps are a bit above my price range used or new aside from older amps.
Can someone recomend an amp in the 2000-2500 range that would be a good match. am using Omega alnico bookshelf speakers. tks.

Panu21, I agree with Mrjstark's observation. Thirty watts should drive that speaker with plenty of power. You may have an issue elsewhere.

I believe that speaker would mate well with an SET tube amp or push pull tube amp if you want more drive. IMHO you will be giving up a large measure of harmonic information and transparency by going to a ss or class D amp.
