Receiver/amp required to properly drive these speakers

Hey All!

What type of receiver, amp, setup would maximize the sound performance of these speakers?

If I need to provide specs, please let me know. Im not looking for a "hand out" on information.

I have an affinity for vintage speakers, ESPECIALLY, the ones that provide a full, complete sound stage.

Generally, an amp that can adequately power them to their maximum potential would be my suggestion. so, I'd be looking for an amp that can put out near what their maximum power handling capacity, or a bit greater.

Not just an amp, you'll want a sub to go with them as well according to this:

The good news; high efficiency..the trade off , low bass output and high distorsion levels in bass region.
Cheers, Mac
