I am using an Audio Research D400II to drive my 3.7s. It has tons of current with 400 watts to the 4 ohm load and is very neutral IMO. Tried two of them bridged for mono since I was bi-amping an earlier model, but that makes them a 2 ohm load and while they could drive them, prefer the single amp in 2 channel mode. You get find them used for under around 1600-1900

Just for kicks now using the other AR amp to drive a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls. With 100db effeciency now I can annoy neighbors for blocks if I so choose :-)
