I owned the Eros Mk II (and the Mk 3.5). Over the years, I drove the panels with several different amps, although I have no experience with Carys. My impressions:
Atma-Sphere M-60s - Very, very nice after the addition of the Zero autoformer. 60 wpc, and I never felt as though they were running out of power
Music Reference RM-200 - I KNOW that these amps are better than they sounded on the Eros, but they simply didn't play well together.
Innersound ESL-300 - As should be expected, the company's own amp drove the 'stats beautifully. My only small gripe was a touch of harmonic thinness, something that I am personally intolerant of.
Rogue Zeus - a match made in heaven. 140 wpc in triode mode. The audio buddy here in town who bought my Eros 3.5s also bought the Zeus. Smart move.
As I said, I have no direct experience with Carys of any type on the Eros. On paper, the Sixpacs should be fine, but I said that about the RM-200. Really, the only thing you can do is give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you'll have to decide which to keep. My bet is that you will like the Eros so much that you'd be searching for a new amp.
> what is the difference between RMS and IHF...
Where did you get the IHF spec? It's been years since I've seen this. If I recall correctly, it was sort of a 'peak power output' spec that had little relation to reality. Maybe others have a clearer memory?
