Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire

Hi,

I bought a pair of Dynaudio Sapphire speakers. My electronics and cables are;

Classe Cap-2100
Ear Acute cd player
Pro-ject Extension(with ortfon Jubilee)
Unison Phono One Phone Pre
Auidoquest Volcano speaker cable, Sky Analog interconnects.

I do not have a budget limit to buy electronics(also no rush) but I do not want to spend my money for uncessary ultra expensive equipment. I am considering EAR 890 power&868 pre, ASR Emitter I with battery, Audio Research REF3(2nd hand of course)+REF110, Musical Fidelity AMS series vs. vs.

I heard C4's w/ Ref 110's and they sounded flat. I think you need more drive than that.

If you're after tubes I'd look at VAC. I have two Phi 200's I'm selling which I used to drive some 83 db electrostats. I tried a lot of amplifiers and they were the only tube amps I ever found that could do it. Your Sapphires are much easier to drive than those were!

The ASR would be a good fit but they are really hard to resell if you ever went in another direction.

I don't know about the EAR but if they're not top notch with some serious cahones you're wasting your time.

In SS you have many good choices as mentioned by others before me.
