Good Amp for JM Labs Utopia Speakers


I just bought a pair of Mini Utopias, and wondered of anyone has had any luck amplifying them. Preamp is an excellent passive model I am very happy with: Reference Line Preeminence 1B.

My short list of amplifiers includes various solid state and tube models: CJ 2500A, CJ MV60SE, a few BATs, Threshold T-100, GamuT D200 MK II or III, and VTLs. I am about to start listening to several of these, and wondered if anyone had success with one of these or if I should add another amp to this list.

Appreciate the help!

Thanks,
Dave

I have listened to the JM Lab Micro Utopia Be and Diva Be with the YBA Passion Integre. They were both memorable experiences noted for the high level of musicality and emotional involvement.
i use the hlacro amps with my nova be... great synergy. also used mac 500s, and the krell 750cxs, with great results. the halcro combo is my favorite of the 3 mentioned.
There are some good suggestions above. I am using a Herron tube pre-amp and Herron solid state mono amps with my Mini Utopia's. This set-up has worked very well for me. Previously I was using older McIntosh electronics. The Herron gear is clearly better. However, I belive the newer McIntosh amps would be a an excellent choice. I would stay away from any amps that tend to be on the analytical side since the Utopia's signiture tend to be a little lean. I discovered the right amp will also improve the bass response of these speakers and almost eliminates the need for a subwoofer.
