Acoustic Energy AE 1 s

i had ae-1's that i drove with a bridged pair of rowland model 1's. these speakers can take all the power you can throw at 'em. they will not sound bright unless you use strident amps. hence i would avoid krells. but that's my prejudice showing, too. when i owned mine, i used a cj pv-10 as a pre. i thought it a wonderful combo.

Do you think an integrated is sufficient? Was thinking of a Mark Levinson 383, CJ, Jeff Rowland Concentra or Classe? Was originally thinking of a Krell but will give it a miss after Cornfedboy's comments.

i am partial to electrocompaniet for solid-state amps - yust happen to have an aw100 f/s too... ;~) 100wpc into 8 ohms, 190 into 4 ohms, class-a, >80 amps current. selling cuz it ain't bridgeable, & i am going to run a pair of electro amps in bridged-mono fashion...

electro amps are not as bloomy as toob-amps, but they are warm, while still maintaining all of solid-state's typical wirtues of transparency, detail, accuracy, & good bottom-end...
