What Amp to drive Apogee Centaur Majors?


The Centaurs line works very well with a 50 watt amplifier. That is the minimum power required. I prefer 60 to 100 watts. What amp would you mate with these speakers?
I'm using a Van Alstine tube preamp, Arcam DVD as a transport/Scott Nixon Tube Dac with 2 Adcom 535's. I have 1 Mk II an 1 original. The original has speaker A and B and that actually sounds good as they allow me to biamp at the moment sort of but it's a bit forward sounding. My modified Dynaco ST 70 does a great job in the midrange but the bass is not controlled as I like. So, I'm looking for suggestions of what amp some of you are using with your Centaur Majors. These are the 40" ribbon with 10" woofer. I also have 2 12" subs and they are acoustic suspension Dali 1.2s. Any input will be welcomed.

Thanks for all suggestions. I've bee waiting for a McCormack for months and I always miss them. I hear they are great sounding amps. I hear great things about the Aragons too.
The Odysseys will make the Apogees sing. I use a pair of mono xtreme se's (I think that's the model) on a pair of Duetta Signatures and this combo is stunning.
That's no brainer. Spectron Musician III Mk2, price new: $3k -$4k.

Using a McCormack DNA 500 with my Apogee Calipers. Plenty of current to drive any Apogee load and the sound is very nice. Maybe not as bloomy as a high powered tube amp, but then that wouldn;t controll the bass so well, and I really can't complain at all.

You definitely need high current and high power and something that can control a 3ohm load and still sound good and not "hard". And don't forget to bi-wire, it does make a difference with these speakers.
