amp for Eminent technology LFT-8As


A co-worker is buying my Eminent technology LFT8As. I did not get to try them with anything other than a PS Audio HCA-2. The room is 22 feet by 22 feet. I believe the room was to big for this combination. They were great in a smaller room with that amp. The buyers room is 16 feet by 16 feet. I am looking for suggestions for other amps that have worked well with theses speakers in the $500 to $650 range used.So far I'm thinking Forte 3, Marsh A200, Parasound HCA-1500A,Acoustat Trans-Nova Twin 200 and McCormack DNA 0.5.

They do really well with tube amps,try to find one that is 100 watts per channel.
I'll tel you an amp to stay away from. The Anthem MCA-20. I was using a Portal Panache 100 watt integrated with my LFT-8As and went looking for more power. I got a good deal on the Anthem (200 watts) but it couldn't touch the sonics of the Portal.
I came so close to buying thr ET speakers a couple years ago it was scary, call Bruce as he is a pure pleasure to talk too and get info and opinions from.....great guy.
