Amps that are "forward"


I have always wanted forward sounding equipment and now that I'm getting older (58) when I turn the music up I don't here more detail.Any suggestions on amps and speakers and experiences by you older audiophiles would be greatly appreciated.

My new Burson PI-160 does everything right, including detail up the ying yang without stridency or at the expense of mids or bass. Its just one super clean sounding amp that doesn't miss a thing yet retains the naturalness of a recording. Its the closest I've come to detail at the expense of nothing. Its very basic on features and uses no ICs, being all an all discreet and has a stepped attenuator.

If you've been happy with your speakers, and they are efficient, have tried room teatments, and you can do without the bells and whistles (no remote), then it might do for you what it did for me.
