Best amp for Raidho Speakers

I just bought a pair of Raidho C1.1 speakers. For you Raidho experts out there, what do you feel is the best amp for these speakers? I will be using an Audio Research SP20 preamp. I am currently using Mcintosh MC275 amps but I think the Raidho might be better with a solid state amp. What is the consensus on this ? Is Raidho better with SS or tubes ?

count me jealous of every one of you who didn't do what I did: sell my Raidhos:-(

Hegel, Gryphon, MX-Rs ... when I think about the difference between what you're hearing and what I've had before and after my C1.1s ...

the main difference by far is the dynamics. Even though I'd say the hallmark of Raidho speakers is the outstanding ability to blend drivers over the x-over range, it's the dynamic "intention" that really set my C1.1s apart from anything else I've owned.

Now that Raidho is owned by GamuT I would guess that any new speakers will be voiced with their own amps.  I would try demoing with the GamuT Di150 integrated or D200i stereo amps.  IMO the Di150LE is the best SS amp I ever heard.

br3098 I think you're mistaken. Dantex (parent company of Raidho) bought GamuT.
