I have a friend who’s a watt puppy nut, he’s owned every one up to the 8’s he and I both agree the 7’s were the best.
He’s driven them with everything, se tube, pp tube, Class-D, the best was with high classA biased solid state Class-A/B amps, that can do good current.
This you can tell if the amp can "almost" double it’s 8ohm wattage into 4ohms, and it’s 4ohm wattage into 2ohms. So look for reviews in Stereophile of amps that bech test doing this.
I would suggest a used pair of the John Curl designed Parasound Halo JC1 monoblocks, which just happen to have a switch on the back to give high class-A bias which will give you a warmer sound but still detailed when you want to listen seriously.
Or for parties, dinner or background music switch it of, still sounds very very good even without the high bias.
