They can drive anything, and soundly beat Bryston, Aragon, CJ,, Krell and others in an extensive listening test I did in the same setup.

Anyone heard the vac monoblock 220, or cary 805?

Can you bi-amp those speakers?" Yes. "Why not put a strong, say Parasound SS amp on the "bass posts" and a more musical/accurate/refined amp on top!?! Because it ain't needed. I've used the Studios with a dozen or more amps and never found that biamping was an advantage over a single adequate amp per channel. The SF Power3 works and so does the non-tube Classe CAM350 and monoblocked eVo2. BTW, iirc, Revel doesn't recommend biamping either.
