The 2C models are generally easy to drive.
You may have better input on the Vandersteen forum, hwoever only a limited few people have used Class-D.
I tried a cheap Class-D ($70 AIYAMA) and found it was pretty good… actually surprisingly good… after making sure it worked, I then moved it to a surround channel.
Is that the M700 mono blocks? … or is there an integrated M700?
The other usual high-end suspects are Atmasphere, and the Hypex, Purify derivatives… Appolon, Boxem, March Audio, Nordost (sp?), etc…
