I have the SCM 19v2’s and am in the same boat.
I imagine if you have the 30.x pass amp you’re not gonna have the slam needed for these inefficient (86dB) speakers.
I’ve been looking in the 250w/ch solid state arena and am not sure that’s going to be enough for the large space I have my speakers in (WAF is stand mounts only).
Some of the newer class D amps are interesting (Merril Audio, etc.) but so are the NuPrime ones if one wanted to do this on a budget.
Have you thought about just getting a Pass X350.8 or something in that range? Plenty of oomph and neutral enough for our very revealing speakers. It’s way outside my budget or I’d strongly consider one.
Now, I have heard the SCM 19v2’s with ATC’s own 150w/channel dual mono amp. It was really nice, but something didn’t gel with me so I passed on it. It did have plenty of slam though.
