Amp for Green Mountain Europa

... Building a new system around the Europa's; also Discovery Essence IC's, Sony TA E86B preamp( to be replaced in time), Tyler Reference subwoofer.

Someone I trust strongly suggests 125-150 watt Edge or Blue Circle for amp. Soundstage, imaging, detail, power reserve are important, plus other common attributes of a higher quality power source.

~$2000 budget, new or used. What other amps should be on my short list to take advantage of the full potential of the speaker? I would also appreciate comments from those with experience with the Europa's and the two amp families mentioned.

I live where there is little or no access to audition finer gear so my decision will be made based on literature and on info gained from this sort of feedback. Thanks.

Hello Roy,

Even tho your post (above) is in the "amp recommendation for Europa speakers" can we assume that the amps & cables recommended by you are applicable to all your speakers?
Or do you have some other amps & cable recommendations for your floor-standers?

Thanks!

Muse has been added to my list of prospective amps and I hope for additional comments.

I have really enjoyed your enlightening remarks. Thank you all.

Pete- you are "post-upgrade", and I say more about that in the Time Coherence thread- the very last post in it.

Bombaywalla- from what I have heard from those cables and amps, they are eminently suitable for all our speakers, and many people have the SAME reaction to them without using our speakers- very many people. Which to me indicates these products have attained a certain level of clarity, as opposed to people preferring them because of some kind of "synergy". And I forgot to add Analysis Plus wires are a really good value too- musical/proper tone balance for the most part. I am sure there are others- just hard to hear a lot here in Colorado (not exactly high-end country...)

Y`all have a good weekend!

Roy,
Have you started to ship the Continuum 3's yet?

Any idea when the web site will be up?
