ideal amps for JM Lab Utopia system

ramy: nice bedroom! i don't know what your budget might be but it seems not too restrictive. i'd look at one or two jeff rowland model 6's. these can be configured from monoblocks to 6-channel output. or, if you really want the best-of-the-best, you might try boulder 2060's and 1060's; you'd never run out of gorgeous, melodic, pure class a power. yummm. -cfb

i know they sound really really good on the lamm 1.1s. They really blew me away. They are expensive and are hybrid amps. I'm not sure how much tube hastle there is with them. Everytime i hear some of the best sounding systems the Lamms are always near by.

what do you mean to old for tubes? utopias love tubes. i run mine 24/7 . i guess if you really do not want to use tubes . i agree with cornfedboy, on the jeff rowland. gryphon , and burmeister maybe as well. i still say tubes are best though. good luck in your quest. the utopias are great speakers.

Dear Sir,

If you don't want to get tubes but like a tube sound you should concider listening to Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblocks they are tube like sound but also better for bottom and top end and 600W a side, with very mininal disturtion.
You will enjoy them.

buy duet 350s they are great, I've got 2 bridged in mono to do biamp on ML Request there is no need for great power and only the performance II will outperform it, I would even put duet everywhere for the home cinema if I had the space...
But I can't, no offence you've got a great system, superb loudspeakers but classe Amps are not transparent and precise enough for the utopias, nice for surround though...

Trust me get a 2 duets 350s and bridge them, it would kill any krell, Mark levison or anything that I've heard any day

my 2c if it's worth it!

PS: you are lucky to have a palette I'm looking for one now, it is a joy to use particularly when it is required -:)
