Help on choosing a amp for Dali Helikon 400 mk1


I am looking to spend $3500 on a used SS amp . I listen to Jazz on vinyl mostly, rock on vinyl and CD.My pre is a BAT vk 31.Room size 25'x16'

I appreciate you're feedback, thank you!

Thank's for you're response 1graber2.I ended up with a tube amp PrimaLuna prologue 7 mono's. It sound very good i am ready to start tube rolling by curiosity mostly.
the ss amps i tried made it hard to listen for a long time.too bright for my ears.
thank you for you're response.
witch one of you listen to detail not to bright sound with some warmth.
does that make sense?you know like listening to Coltrane, Mingus or Nina Simone and feel like you are they're.
Thank you for you're response Tomcy6
I would like to go in the more neutral/detail way.I did try some Nuforce ref v2se, it sounded very detail (good) but to bright on my system.

I will audition a BAT vk 220 as you mention.

I did not think about tube rolling. does it make a big difference on a pre?
I currently have 2 B&K st202 bi amp.
Thank you Jackarosey, I like NAD,they put out excellent product for the price i still use it in my a/v but i need a power amp since i already invested in a pre.(BAT V3ix)
