I used to drive my LS 3/5a with a Luxman receiver, a 45 watter ss amp, and it sounded as good as tubes. The Cyrus mission amp I heard are equally agile performers on the LS. What I'm saying really is there are a plethora of amps that can work equally well with the LS 3/5a. It should widen your choices rather than sounding pathetic coz you can't buy it the so-called best amp. There's no doubt there's more probably on the tube side of audio that can weave magic like that old Luxman 3045 monos (if I got the model right) as I recall in the U.S. LS shootout that turned out more like which amp drove the LS better.

Based on what I've heard, the real mate for a pair of Moles monoblocks is the Tono preamp! Moles have pretty much driven any speakers I've tried with it, including boombastig's power-hungry 4-ohm Genesis IM-8300 with ribbon transducers.
