Looking for a new powerful amp.

I just purchased a Audio Research Ref 3. Now I'm looking to purchase a new amp. My current speakers are Tannoy system 1200's. the new amp must be able to play very loud at times. the type of music ranges from R&B to Hip Hop to Pop.
I may eventually be changing the speakers to Vandersteens 5a's.
I was thinking maybe a Krell amp???

please give me any feedback you might have on the speakers and amps.
thanks!

I agree with Brianwater the CJ premier 350 is an excellent choice. It is a very detailed and musical amplifier with large amounts of finese and power. There may be more powerful amps available but very few offer the resolution and detail this amp does.

Stevecham I am with you I would not classify Krell as bright and thin either. Pass is a good choice as is Krell but with a 95db speaker I am not sure you need all that power. But of course if you change speakers with a more inefficent design then the power will come in handy.
