Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers


Just picked up a used pair of Devore O/96 and am awaiting delivery. Still have a pair of McIntosh MC501s (500W) and a pair of Quicksilver V4s (170W) that I used with my previous speakers.

Before I sell the amplifiers for something with less power, I plan to at least try them with the O/96s.

What can I expect to hear? What issues might I encounter?

To me....you may be on the cusp of having the Best of all worlds , keep a high powered SS amp and also purchase a low watt Tube amp, perhaps a pair of mono 300B's.       Both will have different sound signatures and give you more options!  My suggestion would be to sell the powerful Quicksilver's for a lower wattage option.
