ive have a pair of CV's for about three years now.im running them with a bryston 4bst amp which is 250 per channel.ive actually considered other speakers such as Martin Logan....and honestly the soundstage of the snells were much better not to mention the dynamics..the better electronics i upgrade to the better the snells sound.i would give some hard thought before passing them up.....snell is now a whole different company and the guy who designed the C series is now at revel.hope this helps you out.
