Let me get this straight. You're simply looking for a good sized amp to break in some speakers and the sonics are not important ???? The most wattage per dollar that i can think of can usually be found in a Phase Linear 400. At 200 wpc @ 8 and prices usually around 50 cents per watt, it would be hard to go wrong or do better for your situation. If your using this strictly as a burner - break in device, the 4B ST would be WAY overkill. Sean
