I agree with all of Raquel's suggestions, particularly the Lamms, which I own and find to be exceptional amplifiers and able to drive virtually anything out there. One more possibility is VTL, their amps, while not as smooth and refined as the ones mentioned, do well with the Dunlavy's, particularly in the bass (though I would opt for their 225 watt versions). ARC VT amps also work well with Dunlavys, though I find them to sound just a little lean compared to the others mentioned. While all of the amps mentioned here are somewhat pricey, your speakers are good enough to let you hear what you paid for.
Tube amp suggestions-Dunlavy IVA
I'm considering going to a tube amp for my Dunlavy IVAs. Quite a few amps I'm investigating have between 75 and 100 watts per channel. Currently driving a 300 watt per SS amp. Because I have no experience with tubes, I'm interested in opinions on whether 75-100 tube watts per channel will drive these speakers to satisfactory listening levels. Thanks all!
