I used a McCormack DNA 1 with 2.2's and Sumiko Ocos cable with great results. I never had a problem with volume levels. I tried a Aragon 4004 mk2 and prefered the mcCormack which was more rounded and smooth and more musical. I later switched to Naim 250/82 preamp with hicap and was blown away by the improvement. The 250 only has 70 watts per channel but it has an energy unlike any other amp I've heard. I now use active Naim SBLs with 4 x naim 135 mono amps...
