Best amp match for Tannoy Revolution DC6T SE

Hi! I'm new to the forum but not new in the site... I've read a lot of articles for amplifiers here...

I want to buy a new integrated amplifier for my Tannoys (Revolution DC6T SE).

I want a powerfull integrated amp to be able to drive well the Tannoys and play in very loud volume if it needed without any distortion...

The music I listen is classic rock (Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Scorpions) and new rock-electronic like Yellow, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, Portishead e.t.c....

My living room is about 25 square metters. The budget I have to spend is about $2,000.

What do you propose?

Thank you.

The Music Hall A70.2 is only $1500 from Music Direct.

That would be my recommendation for what you describe.

It is a very good-sounding amplifier with a lot of power; far more than those efficient speakers will ever use.

The Musical Fidelity M6i is an excellent one also, but that is over $2000.

Thank you! Musical Fidelity

Thank you!

Musical Fidelity M6i seems to be an awesome machine! But it seems to be discontinued?

The Music Hall is also seems great..

I have a question, what's your opinion about Parasound amplifiers?

The Musical Fidelity M6i is in stock at Audio Advisor, for $2995.

Are you in the US or the UK?

My experience with Parasound amplifiers and preamps has not been very good. I understand that their most expensive amplifiers are good, but the A23 that I bought once was very poor IMO; I returned it.
