Power requirements for Acoustat 2+2s


I am going to fire up some 2+2s and was thinking of using my VTL MB150 mono blocks. They are rated at 150 per in to 8 and 4 ohms. Do you think that will do in the power department? How much power do these actually need? VTL said they might not have enough, but I don't know if they knew the speaker that well.

I successfully ran a pair of 2+2s with Blue Medallion transformers with a pair of VTL Tiny Triodes ( newer version with 45 wpc in tetrode mode). Not too loud but up to the power limit, the sound was AMAZING. The TT 25s have a super deep stage and are very transparent. The MB 150s should have no issues with the 2+2s as long as you are not looking to have them at huge volume and dynamic swings. I am assuming the 150 monos are running either KT-90s or EL 34s? The later versions ( MB 175s) run the 6550c and will have an advantage in "PRAT" but not be a sweet in the mids.
