Single ended Power amp recommendation

I just recently purchased a pair of SAP J-M2001 MKII and need to change my power amps. Currently using BAT-DK5 to Emotive Audio Sira LE and Conrad Johnson Premier 8A.
Since the SAP are horn speakers, I heard that it should be best with single ended poweramps w/ zero feedbacks. Any suggestion and recommendation?
I'm thinking to sell my Conrad Johnson Premier 8A so the budget should be around 5-6k.
Thanks!

I certainly understand you missing the bass---compared to the 8a. I own the 8xs triode version. I also have the Sophia 845--- And a pair of Lowther horns coming. I'll be mising the bass of the CJs. Then intergrating the bass somehow, will be next. Jeez if I could only swing the 20k for the A.G.trios.

Well.. well... this is truthly amazing. I got my dedicate power line installed couple days ago and guess what, I finally got the bass back.
Now, with 20w from the Art Audio Jota, I'm more happy than any big monster amps out there. Amazing sound, the midrange are just wonderful with the KR300BXLSX.
I'm waiting for my Hydra w/ python power code, might bring the system to another level.

SET is something l am toying with too. Does anyone own Supratek Merlots (www.supratek.biz) 10wpc SET's that if they are half as good as their pre-amps must be worth considering.

Well, I have a pair of the quartetts coming end of next week.When I posted to this thread a while back, I had no idea I'd be buying this brand. Guess what amps I now own--CJ8's but the XS version.Power won't be a problem---That don't mean I won't be shopping for an amp and soon.

please let me know what you think of the Quartette. For sure, the CJ8 will have more than enough power to drive those speakers.
