I really, really like the SR-11. Although it's sensitivity is not quite as high as the rest of the line you have more than enough power for these. But I will bet you that the Sonatina will be hard to beat. I find that I prefer low sensitivity speakers with high powered SS amps (I cannot explain that, it just seems to be.) but the Sonatina with little fly amps had incredible sound and BASS. I think that this is what you are looking for. They were very smooth and did not make the tiny amps sound strained at all. Even with some relatively bassy material. It was a complete package. But you know the deal, "your mileage may vary"! I envied you today. There is nothing like hunting down new speakers. You get that kid on Main St. for the first time at Disneyland feeling. I hope that this is a fantastic time and you will get the sound that you are looking for. (And they do have bi-wire capabilities). I hope that there are more suggestions so that you get a full rounding.
ps; I would get the Sonatina's in briarwood. It just looks awesome. If I wasn't so hooked on my Dynaudio 1.3 Se's I would probably consider these and move to tube amps. Dale
