B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use??


I love my Conrad Johnson CAV 50 tube amp, but it's just
not enough for the 801's at 45 W/PC.
Sad day, but I will need more power. Any thoughts on
a good high power SS amp that may (just wishing) have close
sonic quality's to the CJ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used my 801 matrix III's with a Threshold S-550e for years and never had a problem and enjoyed the great sound. I have also pushed them hard with my Pass Labs X-600's and the glue holding the resistors the the crossover circuit boards started to burn and smoke.
