Try Wyred 4 Sound, SX 1000 mono's or ST 1000. Good sound, very articulate sound that is as good as the source material that feeds it. Way lower priced than the performance might indicate. They are over 500 watts into 8 ohms, stable into 4ohms. I drive Vandy 2CE's with plenty in the tank with plenty of room to spare. I also have KEF LS-50 (85db) and still easily fill a room with beautiful sound. I haven't tried ribbons on them yet, but as long as they aren't too low of impedence(1 ohm) they could sound awesome. I have heard their equipment on Magnapans and they are among the most difficult to drive to louder levels. It was the smaller 3 piece system they just came out with on their smallest amp(100 watts a channel) and the sound was still very liquid and engaging. Good luck in your search.
High powered amps for low sensitivity
I have a pair of speakers that are 3 way with raal ribbon tweeters
Several amps I have do not like the 84 db sensitivity or 4 own load at higher volumes and with dynamics
The speakers sound fabulous when not pushing the amps limits
I am running out of usuable volume in my system due to a .24 mv mc cartridge and the high demands
Looking for something very dynamic and natural sounding that can handle a hard load to drive these
