John Strohbeen strikes me as a strict engineer and objectivist and when asked which amps are best to drive the Ohm Walsh 5 mentions the most powerful and high current designs. Anecdotally, he is purported to like the Carver TFM-75 (750 W/ch) which was at the time about the most powerful consumer audio amp available. He told me he likes the Crown Macro Reference (a true beast and very well reviewed at Absolute Sound years ago) which these days can be had for about $2,000. I am using the Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000 which at 550W/ch into 8 ohms and 1100W into 4 ohms drive the Walsh 5's effortlessly. There are many fine amps that will do the job right.
