Amp suggestions needed

I have a pair of Apogee Duetta IIs coming and i need an amplifier capable of driving them (as they are apparently UBER power hungry). I need to keep it under 1k. So far Ive been considering Aragon 8008bb, BAT VK-200, and Mccormack DNA-1.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Wood, you have three great amps listed but I don't thnk that the BAT or McCormack have enough power to properly drive the Duettas. My choice would be to use (2) McCormack (or BAT) amps in bridged mode.

You might also consider a used Sonographe SA-400 amp - I used one with my Apogee hybrids for years with great results.

Stanwal, you are probably right. But I did have a freiend that used a set of DNA-1s to drive his Divas. Worked great.

I have also heard good things about the H2O amps w/ APogee full rnage speakers, but I have never seen or heard one in person.
