Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there?

Currently I have my speakers biamped with a pioneer elite sc07 receiver (140 watts per channel or something like that)and I also tried it using the pioneer preout's to my fisher 500c receiver with incredibly good results. I actually still have it hooked up like that. I know these are not great amps and that's why I posted this thread because I am looking to buy a new amp or an integrated amp and was looking for suggestions. With that said so far I am very happy with the sight of and the sound of these speakers. Mine are piano black and just look outstanding. These little guys produce an incredible amount of sound and they go low. My rooms about 26'x14 and I can drive you out of the room with these speakers. Highs are crisp and clean soundstage and imaging are good and like I said these speakers will go low if the song has a low note they can reach it they don't have gut wrenching bass but they get down there. I cant wait to hear there full potential with better components.

If anyone has heard these speakers or has any opinions about them or would want to recommend an amp feel free to. Nothing over $1000 let's say. I am on a tight budget right now.With this budget I am obviously looking into used gear also.

Thanks for response Jeff that is what I was thinking that a high powered solid state might be the way to go. But strangely enough I found my fisher 500c tube receiver about only 35watts produced better bass than my pio elite 145 watts per channel receiver. Better but still not what I think these babies can do. Don't get me wrong I am already hearing how low they can go but I still feel like it can be better it me with the impression that something is lacking a bit.

Jeff I had never heard of tact thanks I will keep my eye on them now.

Thanks Bob especially with that info about the bryston. I wonder if there's anyone out there that used the bryston with the tanto that could give us there opinion. I would think that if he used the bryston to voice that spearker then that would be the amp to get to achieve the sound the designer was seeking? What do you think?

Do you guys think a mark levinson no 27 would be a good amplifier for these speakers ? I have a chance to purchase one for $1000 is that good?

Well the mark levinson did not work out I ended up buying a krell 400 integrated amp .

Glad to here some more feedback. So far I am very happy with the krell 400 and the tantos but I will wait a little to give a more detailed review of the sound. A question for anyone passing through. I have a lot of music stored on an external hard drive that I use to play through my receiver preouts and then connected to the krell. I would have receiver on pure audio so as to try to give the krell the purist signal possible. But I sold that receiver. Now I have a ps3 which I can also use but it does not play flac files. So now I know I could either buy another receiver or a cd player with USB input or is there a better way to go. Of Ian going to play digital I feel I need to have flac. So any advice would be appreciated.

I thought of a USB dac but the problem is I have my music stored on an external storage device so I would need something that could display track info so I don't think a USB dac would work ?

So external drive to squeeze box then from squeeze box digital out to external dac or just use a squeeze box. How good have u heard the dac is? Is it so good I would not need a dac?
