You should try something with some body and warmth. The EAII's are a tad thin sounding compared to the older original EA's! Tubes would be a good choice, of higher end virtues IMO. These EAII's are easier to drive than the more demanding originals, so tubes should be a good avenue to pursue. Cary, Jadis, VAC, and others make some good offerings at $4k and above. Good Luck
