have been running the 604s all day with 0.75 wpc darling clementine amp and still sounds great. will do some critical listening with music i know very well, but so far looks like 45 amp would work fine in this system.
probably helps that the Altecs are 16 ohm and i have 15" JBL helper woofers crossed at 150 hz.
oliver sayes says he could build me a switchable 2A3/45 amp so that might be the silver bullet, but i'm thinking hard about that yamamoto 45 with the "reclaimed wood" base. wild card is the local stereomour: don't know price, mods, tubes, etc.
