Cary CAD-805C driving horn speakers?


I have an opportunity to purchase a pair of used Cary CAD-805C 50 wat mono block amplifiers. I'm wondering if anyone has tried these amps with horn speakers, specificly Avantgarde. Are these amps too noisy? Is the sonic signature not a good match for horn speakers? Any advice is most welcome.

These amps are really 25W class A with the ability to put out 50w in A1 mode. They are dead quiet and very nice. I have not heard these amps with Avantgardes, but I have heard them on other high eff horns and they sounded nice. If you do buy the 805C, I would look at getting them re-capped with Mundorf Gold / Silver and oil caps...WOW!
