Power amp recommendations for Rogers pro9tls
Would like to try something different to run the Rogers. Currently using my 211 valve based power amp with a Firebottle kin pre amp. Fancy trying a different power amp something maybe like a quad 606/707/909 or anything with a bit of oomph. Would need to work well with the firebottle. Room is 22’x 14’6. Having to go to 2/3 o’clock on the volume when playing at party levels🥳 Not sure this is a problem as it sounds fine just worried l may be causing damage .
Any suggestions?

Main amp is an Electrocompaniat eci2 Sony qs930 cd, Sony tuner,Stan dac,modified x10d with little pinkie se and of course Quad esl57s fully serviced with much better legs and widgets. Sometimes swap to my kef reference 3s or Rogers pro9 Tls.

Transmission line speakers like amplifiers that grip well, the Quads you mention are very nice but not the tightest at bass frequencies. A bigger NAD might do the trick.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Don't rule out NAD integrated amps. They can be very effective.

You can use them as power amps too just plug the pre in to the power in sockets in place of the jumpers and you can use whichever option you prefer.

A Krell will get the maximum performance out of any speaker. Might be overkill in this situation but the way I see it why take a chance?
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

My ideal choice would be a pair of Quad 606 Mk.II monoblock amplifiers.

Rotel RB991.
Plenty of grunt.
I'm using mine with a Quad Artera Pre into Spendor S8e.
Including a service it owes me 500. Which is a bargain.

Your Rotel looks like a good choice, can’t see many for sale at that sort of price though.
