Amplification Suggestions for Legacy Whispers???


Just purchased a pair of Whispers...time to upgrade amplification. Having read several treatises on 4 ohm vs. 8 ohm loads (Whispers are rated at 4 ohm nominal), I believe I should lean towards high current, SS amps. Please weigh in 'o knowledgable ones.

A friend of mine uses the almost legnendary Krell KSA 250 with incredible results on his Legacy Focus speakers. I believe you could find two KSA-250s and vertically biamp which would give you awesome sound, plus heat your home in the winter!
I used a Mcintosh 352 with my Whispers. Great sound very natural with no fatigue over long periods.
Why not use a Legacy amp? The PowerBloc 2 drives my older Legacy Focus just fine. I suspect that Bill Dudleston used his own amps(made by Coda) to design and tune all his current speaker line. Well made, good warranty, and not overpriced. Same could be said of the Bryston lineup. But again, I don't believe there is any magic X-factor in any well made SS amplifier.
Thanks all for your responses---I welcome more from generous and/or opinionated comrades. Good and viable alternatives all. Has anyone out there auditioned the Parasound Halo JC-1's with Legacy speakers?

Dalinden--appreciate your entry as well. I must admit a soft-spot for Mr. Duddleston since we attended H.S. together in Spfld, IL.
FWIW - I replaced a Bryston 4B with a Monobloc2 for my Focus 20/20. The resulting improvement was immediate and not subtle. I highly recommend the Legacy (Coda) over Bryston. I think, after talking to Bryston directly, they don't much like 4 Ohm loads. Now time to upgrade to Ultra Monoblocs!

Also, and obviously, Legacy uses their own amps in their factory showroom. It is incredible sound, especially the Helix.

You can probably never go wrong with Krell though. I have never heard the Parasound.
