ProAc Response 1SC Amp

I have a pair of ProAc Response 1SC speakers. I have a single source - output from a good quality DAC. I need one more component (an Amp) and I will have music!

I want to spend about $1,200 on the amplifier. I have read that the 1SC's sound particularly good when driven with a tube amp. However, I am new to the audiophile world, tube amps are intimidating to me (i.e. tube rolling, biasing, etc...).

I need help deciding which amplifier to buy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Merry Christmas!

Conrad Johnson 11a.
very easy to bias. tube rolling is not a must.

heard the CJ years ago with the proac 2s. Great synergy

Sorry
11a more than $1200. A classic...holds its value well.

Hello,
I like to say Conrad Johnson MV-55,or Primer 11 will good match your Proac Response 1SC.I use this set up to drive Proac response 2.5 sound pretty good.
CJ sound better than ARC class 60.
