Amp for JBL 250 Ti

What about Krell? I always lusted for a monster like FPB 600. Would it be a nice fit? An overkill?

It's rather confusing - do I need the high current traditional amp like Krell or Mark Levinson or does the autoformer Mac do?

Apachef1, but 2300 has all the different Ohm outputs just like typical autoformer Macs? Are you sure it's not autoformer? And if autoformer Macs were not a good match for JBLs why so many people use them together? Because they look cool together? I certainly didn't find Macs to be a good match for B&Ws (and many people swear by this combo).

Thanx! It's strange I always thought the opposite - that autoformers work great if the impendance is stable at 4 or 8 Ohms for example and don't work so nice with a heavy load like B&W (my 6900 went to powerguard with 802D's several times a day and generally sounded like crap - the same amp gave me tons of pleasure with JBL L150).

What do you guys think of Electrocompaniet for these JBLs?

Anyone?

BUMP! At the moment I'm choosing between Mac 452 and Electrocompaniet 250 or maybe 400. Any opinions?

Well, I had to abandon my idea of goin' Mac since the McIntosh prices here in Moscow are ridiculous even with all the discounts that I can get. I'm picking up a used Electrocompaniet Nemo (600/1200/2400 watt top monoblocks) with 4.8 preamp as well as Electrocompaniet EMC-1 UP CD player for less money than McIntosh MC452/C2300/MCD500 combo would cost me. And if one day I'm not happy with my JBLs and want to switch back to B&W I can just get 800 Diamond and don't worry about the amplification one bit since Nemos can drive ANYTHING on this Earth.

Thanx for all your responses gentlemen but I've made my choice. Electrocompaniet NEMO just arrived together with Electrocompaniet 4.8 preamp. I was tempted by McIntosh but the ridiculous prices here in Moscow (think 50% higher than US price) and the rather unpleasant current ruble-dollar exchange rate made me choose Electrocompaniet which I got a great deal on. I will report on my impressions in a few days.
