agree with multiple comments here...
i own the curren model ACT's (full disclosure).
and yes, they don't reproduce the lowest octave. and for many, that's a deal breaker. but for me, i don't mind the lack of deep bass for my listening tastes.
and yes, the ACT's despite their sensitivity level, play very well with a variety of amplification types and power levels. i've used the Creek Destiny Integrated, the Audionet SAM V2, Parasound Halo A21, Synthesis The Theatre EL-34 mono blocks.
the flexibility in amplification is what makes the WB line of speakers great. you can try out so many things and change the sound whenever you want to based on your tastes.
a speaker that can play very well with both solid state and tube is a great thing (for those of us who like both of course).
my dealer used to pair his WB Chimera's (top of the line) with Manley 300B mono blocks.
either way, it sounds great.
