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 have heard the 5as powered with the newer Parasound monoblocks with excellent results. Very neutral and really made the Vandersteens very dynamic.

Krell..bright thin component.

What kind of hash are you smoking D edwards cause it must be quite stale by now.

Arid, as opposed to liquid or wet i.e. undefined, loose and no detail

Grainy, as opposed to smooth i.e. undefined or no detail

Lean sonic character, as opposed to artificially elevated mid bass hump i.e. inaccurate across the frequency band, especially at extended frequencies.

Yeah I agree with that.
