Paradigm Studio 20 v5 + Node 2 + “what amp”

Hey guys. I just pulled my Studio 20 v5 out of storage to pair with new previously loved Node 2. I need to find an amp to finish the package and I’ll like to get your thoughts on my short list.

  1. Schiit Vidal ( my default choice so far )
  • Recommended often as best band for the buck. Good warranty
  • Heard some units have a noise issue and not having a trigger worries me bit.

How have you worked with or around this device always being on?

  1. PS Audio S300
  • The company seems to have a great tradeup and customer engagement policy.
  • Top of my budget
  • might be too much amp for my setup.
  1. Creek Evo 50A
  • Highly regarded.
  • I’m not sure of any negatives.

I’ll prefer to stay close to 1k and welcome your comments.
