MartinLogan Ascents/Quicksilver M80 monoblock amps


MartinLogan Ascents: sensitivity 90 dB/ 2.83 volts/meter,
impedance 4 ohms,1.2 ohms at 20 Hz. How would my Quicksilver M80 dual monoblock tube amps sound with the Ascents? Would there be enough power to hear the Ascents' potential? Would the M80s match better with the Ascents than they would with the ReQuests?
Thanks very much for your help!

The M80's will do just fine with the Ascents - later you may want to biamp them with a SS on the bottom and the M80's on the top. This will bring the Ascents to a new level. I do this with my Odysseys and a Mcintosh 2102 (tube) /Mac 352 (SS). The Ascents are a little easier load than the Request and a bit more efficient.
