Fast & open sounding amp with great imaging 2k


I have 92db 8Ohm single driver speakers and I want to get more micro dynamics, detail, an open soundstage, and solid imaging out of them. Looking for recommendations. Budget 2k (2nd hand gear only)

on my list:

clones audio 25i
job 225
Benchmark AHB2
Aaron XX
Mystere IA11
Unison simply italy
128x128zuio
10-24-15: Zuio
one more thing, my speakers sound best with higher than usual output impedance (my amp has variable output impedance and the best setting is 14Ohm)
If that's the case, then the Classe CA-2200 is not for you, as it has a very low output impedance figure of 0.0055 ohms @50Hz. Good luck with your search!
Based on your listening preferences and desire to use a high-impedance speaker, you're a perfect candidate for an OTL amp.

There's an Atmasphere M-60 classified on Audiogon right now at just under the $2K mark that might be a consideration. (I have no affiliation with the seller.)

Zuio-

I concur w/ the above. Add Classe' and Pass Labs to your list. I would be remiss if I did not suggest an audition with both of these wonderful power amps!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
