The Sashas work with many more amplifiers than their measurements would suggest. Read Art Dudley's review in Stereophile available on the Stereophile website. Of those available to you, Pass Labs has a number of amplifiers that will excel with the Sashas.

Yes, I referenced Art Dudley's review in an earlier post. Very interesting insights.

I have Sashas powered by Pass XA-160.5's. Wonderful match.  I agree with other posts that the older XA100.5 would be lacking along with most tube amps (unless very high wattage mega-buck units).  The newer XA100.8 is more capable than the XA100 Point 5, so I think you would be fine driving the very low impedance below 100 Hz, which is less than 1.8 Ohms.
