Amp for Proac Response 2.5

Hi guys,

I'm new to Audiogon and wondered if anyone could help. I live in the UK and see many fantastic amps touted around here and on audiosylum. Can anyone recommend a nice amp for my Proac Response 2.5's?

I never heard valves but got recommended a MingDa MC67Ha preamp and 2 805A monoblocks. These produce 40W class A each apparently.

Music tastes are varied but mainly rock, electronic and world music/jazz. My room is 18x11ft so i don't think i need too much power to make the Proacs do their stuff.

Other amps i thought about were Rogue, Plinius and Gryphon...and my budget used/new is $2300.

Hope someone can help!

Best regards

Richard I had nice results with Sugden and Proac-(I only have the Studio 150's)-I'm now using an Ayre AX-7 to great effect-might be a bit outside your budget.
I'm also in the UK,Glasgow.
Mail me if you need more info.

Richard, search the forums. There are two threads active within the last week on amps for the 2.5 that might help you out. Good luck!

If the 2.5 is anything like the Response 2 and Response 3 pairs that I owned, that 40-watt tube amp should work fabulously well (although I've never heard a Ming Da). Good luck, Dave
