Can a pair of BAT Rex II (Tube) mono block amplifiers make the Martin Logan Neoliths sing?

HELP?

In your opinions, would a pair of Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) Rex II mono blocks at 160w be powerful enough to make the Martin Logan Neoliths (30w - 1300w) sing?

I'm currently using a pair of Krell 575 mono blocks, which is powerful enough, but I'd like a warmer sound with more harmonics. I mostly listen to old standard jazz LPs from 50's to 70's (at night club sound level) and smooth jazz CDs (at concert levels).

Good luck getting out of your seat , once there set up,

Heard them thru a couple different amps  including near equal power tube amps. 

Currently listening to some entry level Theos thru a 70 watt tube amp, which convinced me BIG ESL's are in my future.

Enjoy.

milt808-

my experiences hearing the Neolith were in a showroom and private home both not far off in dimensions.

Can't give more details other than both were able to demonstrate just how LOUD  and competent  they can play-simply impractical and UNHEALTHY to preserving ones hearing long term. Impressive, but I prefer that level of loud from the real thing-with earplugs.

All I can tell you is they are in the "higher fi" category as far as  performance goes.-same for the BAT gear-congrats on being fortunate to consider the combination.
