Amp Confusion

Well, I am looking at the possibility of purchasing a pair of Tyler Acoustics Decade 2 Loudspeakers which are floorstanding (88sen) and am thinking about the following amps. I am thinking about the Pathos Acoustics Logos, the Bat 300x, the Bel Canto Evo 2, and the Bel Canto 300i. Unfortunately, the only one of these i have heard is the logos but that does not mean that it is the best match for tyler speakers.

My system consists of the Tyler Signature Series. The pre is an Audio Horizons by Joseph Chow which is fed by a Audio Research CD-3. The amps are Classe CA-150's which are biamp mode. Yes, I realize that the new Decade 2's are an improvement but I thought this info could shed some light on your pursuit. The speakers seem to thrive on the solid state amps. Steve

Any particular reason why you are mostly looking at Integrated amps and not seperate amp/preamps ?

Salevick,

It sounds like you arerecommending that a ss amp is a better match for the speakers than a tube amp. Why is that?

Riley,

I have had good luck with integrated amps and they are cost effective also. Stephen
