Still have my Carver VTA-180 tube mono blocks which have more than enough power for any speaker(s) I have, (180 watts per), but...
Went to these about 2 years ago trying to "update" my system - PS Audio Class D mono amps. 350/700 watts each. Traded in my Parasound 3500 (which I had 2 of for many, many years) and dearly loved. Not "big" but big in the sound and output nonetheless. I really hate saying this as I loved all of my Parasound amps but it was worth it. These don't bust my back moving them around.
