I have heard them with the herron monos and pre and the thor monos and pre they are excellent with both (150w ss and 30w tube). I think they will be revealed as a class leader and would not hesitate to recommend them if the rest of your system is well matched. I would recommend you contact Immedia with any questions. They are the US distributor and seem very willing to answer any questions. The speakers are also extremly handsome and well built.
