I don't know what your budget is and whether you can afford what Rockport uses, but I will take a leap of faith and guess it's an SS amp which is expensive and big, heavily biased to play in class A. What amps do you like yourself any preferences?

Others have said the combo is great. Ebm is probably correct too - bet Pass would be a great match. I currently have ARC Ref 250's and have Rockport Cygnus on order - hopefully to arrive in May/June. My room is 15x21x9 and the Cygnus is smaller than the Altair. For your room size of 17x14, you should have no trouble driving them as loud as you want, even with a modest amp.
