Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2.


I need a power amp to drive my Eps2. I have tried Bryston 4bsst-c, Spectron Musician III, Symphonic line RG7 MK3 with no success. Your suggestions would be helpful.

thanks a lot for your responce.
LEt me tell you the rest of the gear. Cary slp98 and symphonic line RG9 MK ii. Cary cdp 303/300.
Bryston is the best overall performer so far but i miss the magic. the highs are a bit hursh and the mids are lean. The bottom is not what EPS2 can give.
Spectron has lean sound for me. i could use it just for the woofers.
RG7 mids are very "electronic". i loved the EPS2 with Cary v12 monos but i am looking for some ss.
@Maich it was really helpful indeed.
I was thinking about a second hand sa250mk4 or a pair of sa102 or 103.

What pre are u using with plinius?
Next week i am going to audition Plinius sa 102 and mcintosh c2300.
I will let you know.
I have the same impression with you but some friend told me that this amp is something special.
i see that the Montana owners are few.
i thought we sould be much more.
Any way.
I just audiotioned a set up with mcintosh. Not my style.
Tomorow i have a date with a plinius sa 102.
I managed to listen to a pass labs x350.5 and a Krell but i dont remember the model.
THank you all for your responce.

What Mac pieces did you listen to?

c2300 + mc501.
it was a litle bright for me.
maybe
The problem (my problem) is that i dont want to paly with tubes anymnore.
Thats the reason that i am looking for some solid state gear.
The happy end !!!
I was very lucky to find the amp of my dreams.
A Mark Levinson 336 now rests on the rack and feeds the Montanas with 350W.
We are all, the gear and me, very happy.
Thank you all for your participation.

@Wrm57 thanks a lot. let me ask you what speaker cables you use.

@Shakeydeal from my experience with Eps2, i think that the amp is not enough.
