I've made use of the Yamaha A-S2200 most times as it perfectly fits the speakers. The bass and the highs don't get harsh while in use, and for the times that I've used it, I've not had any major complaints on it.
As one who really likes tube amps, I also make use of the Rogue Audio Sphinx V3, and the experience of using it has been pretty awesome. It doesn't cost much to maintain. That is the main reason that I picked it
Have you used any of the amps? If yes, what has been your personal experience on them?
I've paired the Yamaha A-S2200 with my KEF speakers more than I've used the Rogue Audio Sphinx V3.
The Sphinx V3 gets unnecessarily hot after about 2 hours of consistent usage, and most of the time, it ruins the fun that comes with blasting it with the KEF speaker.
It's still a decent amp, but it can even be much better if Rogue works on better cooling and more stable power delivery for my type of speaker.
I haven't dumped it yet, but I resort to it on rare occasions.
