I know it’s late, but I’ll weigh in anyway...
I drive my Temptations with a pair of Mac MC501s (500w each) and use a Mac C200 dual chassis pre. The Temps sound fantastic at any volume level, but in particular at low levels where a lot of speakers fall down. This combo has a huge volume range ‘sweet spot’.
I’m also using a pair of Dynaudio subs to fill in the very lowest end, even though the Temps go pretty far down.
