Power Amp Neeed -- PLEASE HELP prevent mistake.


Hello, I am currently searching for a nice amp,, TUBE, SOLID STATE, HYBRID Whatever... I will be running it off a Audio Research LS7 all tube pre and I am not sure of the output impeadance, but want an amp that works very well with it to create a nice synergy. I will go in the used market at about 1,000 USD, Power recomendations from about 40 watts per channel to infinity, Quality and overall sound is all that matters(MUSIC MATTERS). I would like to get the Warmest, tubyest , biggest sound possible and VERY STRONG BASS with the Audio research pre at resonable volume. THERE IS NO TONE CONTROLS IN HIGH-END AUDIO>>> Is there??? So it must produce this sound naturally without Attenuation. THANKS EVERYBODY!!

Why not try an ARC amp with it? I mean what could be a better synergy with an ARC pre than an ARC amp? You can buy a Classic 60 for $950, or if you don't mind shelling out $1850 you can buy a VT100, both on audiogon. Quite a good prcie for either of these amps. I think the retail on the VT100 is $4500 dollars.
Sorry, my speakers are an older pair of klipsch with 15" woofers, rebuilt using cardas binding posts teflon silver coated copper wireing and passive crossovers built with North creek music components. They sound excellent but I just got the speakers from a friend and no gear that I own, using someones junk NAD amp and pre right now.
You might also want to consider a Rotel 1080. It is a nice sounding amp. Very powerful. Well reviewed. Available for about $700 used on Audiogon. Good luck!
I also like the Odyssey and Belles amps and would add a used McCormack DNA-1 and the Marsh Sound Design A200s as both are very neutral and open with great bass control. Best of luck.
