Kurt,
I heard these speakers driven by the VAC Phi 300.1 configured as mono blocks 300 watts per side. This is a very good pairing but it isn't up to the Absolare Passion level of performance/presentation in direct comparison. The Lamm push pull 100watt/channel amplifier wasn't close to the VAC/s sound when heard in the same system. Perhaps the hybrid Lamm is the better Lamm for the Altair. YMMV as always.
