I don't know your speaker but for 85 db sensitivity I would suggest a pair of the Melos 400 watt monoblocks. There are various models out there. I use a pair of customized Soloists (their last model) with the Dunlavy SC-V's which are about 93 db sensitivity. They sound great and have excellent headroom.

Thanks to both of you.

Pls1- unfortunately, monoblocks are out of the question. Currently, have only one shelf available (no more room), therefore has to be a single chassis- thanks for the suggestion though.

Dean505- might be interested in the preamp- but have never heard it...

I have a Melos MAT-180 and I drive North Creek Rythym speakers (88db) to very loud levels. I have had the amp for two years and enjoy it very much. I think for the money they are a great buy.
