Amplification for Linkwitz Orion ++

After trying all kinds of upgrades I've decided to take the plunge and build the Linkwitz Orion speakers including the new rear firing tweeter and the Thor subwoofer. The project will require 8 - 12 channels of amplification depending on the configuration used on the woofers. SL recommends the ATI 6012 for the Orions and the ATI 1802 for the Thors.

I was wondering if anyone here had tried alternative amplification for these speakers and would like to share experiences.

The wASP crossover for the Thor has both normal and inverted polarity outputs for the sub outputs which allow you to drive the Thors with bridged amplifier channels.

For the right content 4 channels which normally deliver 60W become 2 @ 240W.

The 12x60W ATI 6012 will be fine for everything.
