Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT


I seemed to be digging into a dark hole about recommended speaker wattage. I’m not sure how much amplification I should strive for to power the Motion 60XT’s. ML recommends 40-400watts for these. Is that in 4ohms? If I got an amp that could do 700watts in 4ohms would I damage the speakers? I am interested in either Hypex or Purifi amp. Not sure between NC400, NC500, NC1200, or Purifi. Any recommendations?
Thanks,

there's a mcintosh dealer here in whittier california that's been in business since the late 50's. at their store they have martin logan speakers powered by mcintosh amplifiers!
Stay away class (D)ull
by all means, those speakers are amazing, and need some power, to sound their best.

 What amps are you using that have 700W p/ch”?
whta is your current rack?

 Spinner, amps, preamp, etc......


 if u have a killer set of monos, or a great stereo amp, do NOT, lose them.

use them!!

Stay away from Class-D into 2ohms with these speakers

Don’t listen to the watt junkies, you can’t make up current ability with watts, to drive hard to drive speakers with, if you could we’d all own these $429 Behringer 3000watt Class-D’s

The 25watt!!!!! Mark Levinson ML2 monoblocks would eat those 3000w Behringers alive to a given volume level on your ML Motion 60XT’s

Thanks for the responses! I definitely want the headroom to power these speakers and potentially future power hungry speakers. I saw one review of the Motion60s and they used a Sunfire 300 and Silver seven so I think that basically shows higher power is fine. I just don’t understand why the power range hahaI was looking at Parasound A21s previously but I’ve been doing a lot of research on the Hypex class D and they are supposed to be phenomenal. Class D efficiency with class A sound. Read the reviews if you don’t believe me. These are what is used in high end Mola Mola, ATI and NAD amps. The problem with the Crowns and Behringers is that their power is not very clean and they have fans which are a turn off. The NC1200 almost doubles down in 4ohm and 2ohm. The THD plots are impressive.

theres also the Purifi amp which I can find for almost the same price. Same designer who worked for Hypex.
