Amp's to mate with Martin Logan Prodigy speaker's

I have a pair of Odysseys and drive them with Jeff Rowland amps (passively bi-amped with Concentra and 112). I've heard others say that high powered tubes can work wonders, but others have cautioned me that solid state is the only way to go with the bigger M-Ls. I would recommend Pass, Theta, Classe or McCormack. You'll probably get a number of varying responses. Best of luck!

I've got Odysseys instead of Prodigys, but they're generally pretty similar in their amplifier requirements. I'm biamping with a Counterpoint SA-220 (hybrid tube/SS) for the panels and a Classe CA-200 for the bass cones. The line stage is a Counterpoint SA-11, if it matters. I did audition a CJ MV60 with my speakers, and they were quite a bit short on power, although it wasn't as bad with ML as the same amp on Magnepan 3.6s.

My dealer generally demos either of the ML speakers with either Classe CAM-350 monoblocks or the new Rowland M201 monoblocks. I'd love to hear the new Conrad Johnson MV140 all-tube power amp with them, but I haven't to date (different dealers).

Those M201's are really cool - literally and figuratively. They're physically beautiful, like all of the Rowland gear, but also drastically smaller than anything else comparable. They're about the size of a sheet of paper, and a couple of inches thick! They're so small that at first I mistook them for some sort of a power conditioner...

Best of all - other than the sound - they run cool to the touch, even while pumping out a lot of power (500 wpc @ 4 ohms). I'm used to my amps heating up my room in short order, so these look really attractive. Not too expensive, either - $2400 each, so pretty much right where you're looking for price.

Gosh, this turned into a Rowland advert - that wasn't my intention at all. I just saw and heard a really nice set of amps last time I was out at the dealer...

I am using an Audio Research VT-200 with my Pridigy's and the match is great. In fact I talked with a couple of tech's at ML and they told me they use ARC tube amps to voice thier speakers. You can find VT-200's on Agone used for around $3500-$4000. While I have had a power tube go on mine recently overall I would highly recommend the amp, and ARC as a company has been VERY good to deal with. A VT-100 might be a good possability too, all depending on room size and the kind of music/volumes you listen.
