I think these speakers like power. I've tried all sorts of amps and they always seem to come alive with more power. Tubes are great with them. They sounded terrific with the VTL 450 amps (tubes) and the Parasound JC-1 (solid state) both similar power, 400 watts. They sounded a little weak with the Pass Aleph 2s (100 watts) and the Linn Classik (70 watts) Tubes, yes, but I'd look for amps with at least 100 watts if it were me.
