Amplifier match for MM de Capo i's


Working at piecing together a system based around the 3A de Capo i's and am interested in others' sucessful (and not) matches with amplifiers; brands and power. They list 3w to 150w but would a set of Cary 2A3's at 5w work? I listen to classical mostly, sources are rega cdp and music hall TT. I'm looking in the sub-$1500 used arena. Thanks

If you're thinking about going with a good tube integrated look at Unison Research and Pathos.
I run mine with a bryston 4b-st and it's a pretty good match. I've heard them w/ classe, gryphon, mcintosh, rotel, essence, and ati. I'll have to say the gryphon and essence opened them up the best. Although the speakers are so good they make lesser quality amps sound good ;).
