Good Amp for JM Labs Utopia Speakers


I just bought a pair of Mini Utopias, and wondered of anyone has had any luck amplifying them. Preamp is an excellent passive model I am very happy with: Reference Line Preeminence 1B.

My short list of amplifiers includes various solid state and tube models: CJ 2500A, CJ MV60SE, a few BATs, Threshold T-100, GamuT D200 MK II or III, and VTLs. I am about to start listening to several of these, and wondered if anyone had success with one of these or if I should add another amp to this list.

Appreciate the help!

Thanks,
Dave

I have matched my JM Lab Utopia Diva BE with Ayre V-5xe with great success, I previously had them match with a YBA 1 power amp and I prefer the Ayre, simply much more musical, less analytical, you find yourself enjoying and listening to the music rather than listening to your equipment.

If you are a pure audiophile, maybe you will prefer the YBA gear.
If you are more a music lover I guess you will enjoy the Ayre.

Just my 2 cents
