RE: I need a new toy- SS Amp

Are you wanting an integrated amp, or a power amp?

Lots of good choices in both types. Cornwalls may not be the best match for an SS amp as they were designed well before SS amps became popular. It should come as no surprise that speaker designers design for compatibility with contemporary amps. Maybe something like the ADS L710 or L810; Yamaha NS-670 or 690; JBL L110's; later AR's, Boston would also do well. In any case the best match to an SS amp will most likely come from the late 70's or later. Speakers in the late 60's and early 70's were often in a transition mode between amp types. Advents do well with SS as do EPI/Epicure.

For a well engineered amp, try some of the later 70's Sansui or Onkyo.
