60 watt monoblocks were plenty strong for my Acoustats. Currently very happy with an S300 after replacing the welded woofers with 4 ohm versions.
I have never got around to measuring the current sensitivity.
I think it will come down to what character you are looking for. I think you have identified some amps with “the right stuff” for speakers requiring high current. Given you have a Conrad Johnson preamp I would think the Krell would be a great match. Doing some reading I would pick the Rowland Model 5 second. While I was a Threshold fan 40 years ago, once Pass left, less so. |
+1 @ghdprentice What sound characteristics are most important to you and what specific improvements are you looking for over what you have now? |
