Conrad Jodnson PREMIER 12

The CJ's would likely work fine, but it would be a lateral move in my opinion.

I agree with Pdreher. When I had my 5.4's they worked their best with 300 Solid State watts per channel.

On the other hand, the person that bought those speakers from me, was using a relatively low-powered Audio Research tube amp, with good results. Don't recall which model.

Good luck,
Dan

Both amps are very good. I would keep the 160's. The 12's are just too dated sounding. If you had an issue with your high frequencies, that may be another matter.

Thanks for all your information. I just bought ARC VM220 mono and they are sound perfect with the S5.4... Lol
