Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines

Hi Audiogoners,
I am having the combo Shindo Aurieges, Montille EL84 with the Nines and I would like to get some feed back from experience owners of Shindo and Devore on choosing the match amp for the Aurieges to run with the Devore. I cannot afford the more expensive Shindo, hence the question. Please let me know of any other amp which can match with the Shindo preamp I am having and have enough power to drive my speakers.
I am listening to all kind of music from Classical to Heavy metal.
Thanks,
Calvin

The Shindo magic comes from a system approach. By using a different amp you lose out on some of the flavor it has to offer, that's not to say there haven't been some nice amps already recommended. My 2 cents -  
coming from a guy who has a Montrachet and (used to) have the O96's. Hold out for a used Montrachet which can be had for $4-5k. 40 watts is plenty to drive those 10 ohm/96 imp beauties.

+1 the Shindo system is a system and each part adds to the whole in a synergistic way

Thanks,
That’s what I am thinking about now. But I think the lowest used price for the Montrachet was 5500.
