Celestion SL700 - matching amp?

Anyone have suggestions for powering celestion SL700's? Do they require lots of power or are they easy to drive?

They are quite inefficient. A wonderful speaker that throw a wide, deep and transparent soundstage. Surprising bass for their size. Unfortunately, Celestion no longer have replacement drivers. That's why I got rid of mine.

If your room is not very large, the triode mono blocks are very tasty. Of course if your room is very large the 700's are probably not the best choice. Enjoy.
