    Hello! I'm the proud owner of a Focal Elex and I'm thinking about upgrading my amp. For reference, I currently own a Schiit Magni 3 and JDS atom, as well as a topping D10 dac. I'm looking for something that will smooth out the sound a bit, bring vocals forward somewhat, and increase the bass quantity. I'm considering the following amps:

    Asgard 3
    Cavalli Tube Hybrid
    Vali 2
    Valhalla 2
    Liquid Carbon X
    Lyr 3

    My budget is 300 dollars, and I'm very willing to look at used items! I'm especially interested in the Asgard 3 after reading through most of the thread about it here, but I'm not sure whether it will pair well with the Elex.
