driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations?

I've (briefly) driven my Parsifal/Encore with a Bel Canto integrated. It worked nicely, although the combo was not particularly memorable. The P/Es are a modestly difficult load and at least a little bit of grunt is required to drive them well, 300Bs needn't apply. If the Ovation is similar to the Encore, any good 120 wpc ss amp that you like should mate well.

Toronto,

I was actually trying to provide you with a different data point. Basically, my experience with the P/Es suggest that 120 wpc of ss power should mate well - so, if you like a particular 120 wpc ss amp, you're probably good to go. OTOH, 30 wpc might -or might not - be an issue. So, if you're headed down this path, proceed with more caution.

Beyond that, I have no direct experience with the Luxman units. So take my comments as a FWIW.

Good Luck

Edorr,

Just curious about the 200 wpc minimum. What's driving (pardon the pun) that requirement?

BTW, I have successfully used the SS Odyssee mono amps with my P/Es (in that output neighborhood and well below your stated budget). Might not be the most memorable pairing, but certainly worked well enough.
