Which Mono block amps for ML Summit Speakers?

Yo 'lectrostaticman! My last pair of Logans (Prodigys) sounded extremely good driven by a pair of JC-1's... if you really need monos for some reason.

Also, I heard a pair of Odyssey's at a friend's driven by a Pass 250.5 that was every bit as good as I've ever heard.

Please be sure and let us know all about the Summits if you ever spring for a pair.

I just checked the ML Summit specs. The built-in woofer amp is 200W. Recommended external amp (for the panel only remember!) is 100-300W. None of the prior ML speakers had on-board amps, and thus would have employed a completely different electronic interface between the power amp and crossover -- so I feel that amp/speaker experiences w/ previous ML models must be considered anecdotal when speculating what would work best with the Summit, which is decidedly not an evolution of their previous hybrid models.

.

While not having an on-board amp for the woofers, the interface, ie electronic xover, is the same as the Summit as it relates to driving the panels.

I also missed the Antique Sound Labs Hurricane and the Cary v-12 mono's. Again used.

I have no view on SS amps having not listened to any model seriously in almost 10 years. A lot has happened then, as I found out when I replaced my tube pre with a Pass Labs X-1.

There has been a change in my thinking. My wife has decided she will accept the speakers in her living room but no other equipment in the vacinity. So I will need recommendations on equipment which will now need to be located 50ft away in a equipment cabinet. I will need to run the these speaker cables in the wall to the attic above the room, then over to a equipment closet with a 10 or 12ft.drop.

Please continue to suggest equipment & cable (cost effective).
Thanks,

Two points, if you really need to be cost effective, then you should rethink your decision to buy such an expensive speaker. Also, 50 feet of cable will degrade the performance of all but the stoutest high current amps into the load the Summit's present. You can do it, but you'll never be able to optimize the speaker's performance. Why get such a nice speaker if you not going to optimize?
