Well my closet won't fit the 7T's, but I do have the 6T's (very happy with them) in our listening-only room. I decided to try the Oppo HA-1 as a DAC/preamp, 30 day trial, and have kept it. Winning feature for the family was the Bluetooth app. I like the class A pre-amp and the Sabre DACs.

Also picked up a small Naim NAP 100 amp at the same time from our local (Boston) dealer, for another room (again not a closet) to drive some DynAudio bookshelf (Excite X14) speakers. At the moment, it is driving the 6T's surprisingly well, at 75 wpc into 4 ohms (the nominal impedance according to Michael Kelly/Aerial).

Looking for an amp for the 6T's, really need no more than 200 wpc; 100 wpc with ample headroom would be fine. (6T's have 90 dB sensitivity according to Aerial).

Recommendations? Prefer solid state, but will consider everything.

Also, the Oppo analog section is a fully balanced design, so balanced inputs at the amp is nice, not mandatory. Simaudio 330A is a contender, fyi.
