Best amp to drive Wilson Yvette’s


I currently am looking for the right amp to pair with Wilson Yvette’s. I currently have a Pass 250.8. I think I’m looking for more headroom than what the Pass 250.8 can offer. 
I look forward to any thoughts or insights. 
Thanks.

OP:
I find the Luxman and Ayre have a very different sound than the Pass, especially in the bass.

Really suggest you listen though, my opinions here are not shared by many.
How about an integrated? The ARC and Luxman integrateds are in that price range and do a pretty good job. :)


Listen for yourself and judge the performance.
Unfortunately, like many many speakers, the Wilson’s have an impedance dip in the 100-150Hz range down to 3 Ohms.

What does this mean? It means that the place to listen for amp differences is going to be in this range. Some stereo amps may perform better than some mono, so listen to see if there’s any difference, and if it’s worth the monetary outlay.




Best,
