Help need an amp for Infinity Sigmas


Before I decide on an amp for my Sigma speakers, I would like to know from all you audiophiles out there, what would you recommend? I thought about purchasing an ML No. 335.
Would a 336 be a better choice; or even another brand?
I'm presently using a No. 27.5, which is obviously too weak. I'm also using a No. 380S, 30.5 and 31.5. I have
a Bryston 10B active crossover to experiment with.
(max. wattage for speakers is 500 according to specs.
in the future, I'd like to step up to Genesis speakers.)
Thanks for your help

336 would be a good choice, very detailed and open-sounding amp. I have a classic pair of Infinity RS1b that requires bi-amping, and I use an older Levinson ML3 on the woofers, and a 333 on the mids/tweets. This has been a more than satisfactory combo.

If you move to Genesis, most of their speakers come with amplification for the woofers, and you'll need to look to tube power for the best sound from the mids/tweets. ARC VT150SE's come to mind, as would the Expensive, but excellent McIntosh MC2000. A friend has Genesis 200's, and drives the mid/tweet panels with the Mc 2000, his system sounds great!

Hope this helps!
