Amp for Shahinian Obelisks?


Hi guys

Anyone recommend amps for my new Obelisks? I heard the Plinius 9200 was ok but wondered if tubes would do it? Like these:

Or high power Mcintosh?
Bryston?
Jungson JA-50 monos?
Krell?

My music is rock and electronic biased with lots of live music etc.

Really appreciate your thoughts!

Regards

Mr. Shahinian himself insists on staying away from tubes and having an SS amp with reasonable power. Check with him and he'll be happy to make an in-person recommendation.
the shahinians are big ss all the way, but aren't what you would call an ideal speaker for rock and roll or electronica....
I have Obelisks and use a Plinius SA100 with them.The Shahinian speakers in general need amps with high current so solid state is often recommended. Peter Thomson of Plinius uses Shahinian ( I think Diapasons) and I know Richard Shahinian thinks that Plinius works well with his speakers.I have also run my speakers with An ARC VT100 power- really sweet midrange but a bit lacking in the bottom end compared with the SA100. SO IMO I think the Plinius would work well.
Cheers
Off the topic of amps, I'd never heard of these speakers until now.
What is the most endearing quality of the Obelisk's?
