What amp would be good for the Aerial 7b's

I've read they need lots of power which now that I have them I agree with. What would be a good solid state amp. Has anybody tried a tube amp with them?

Thanks,
Robert

The option of two amps is optimum-using them bridged in mono. I would look for CA-100's or a CA-150 in stereo. Hope this helps. Steve

I used a Parasound Halo A21 with both and i could get the amp to clip at loud volume if the music contained deep bass on the model 6s. I had no clipping issues with the model 9s. The model 9s are more sensitive than the model 6s or 7s. I think the Parasound Halo JC-1s will drive your speakers very well and sound great if you can swing them.
