I have the ReQuest's predecessor, the QuestZ. I've had good luck with ARC SP-11 preamp and at various times used the following amps with great results: Hafler 9500 w/musical concepts mods. Perreaux 3150 Classe' M-1000 monoblocks (these were/are the best match) M-L recommends 200w/ch max but they've got to be kidding. Requests want big power and current to sound their best
