I am using the 17D3 with an ARC PH3SE, which has a gain of 59 I think, and it is sufficient gain for me anyway...it sounds real nice too! :)

Listen to the Speedy one on this ... I have a FAQ on system gain and what it means. Like all numbers, you still have to give a listen. A noisy circuit with theoretically enough gain will drive you out of the room ... or not ... depending on your tolerance for this sort of thing. Like effective mass / resonant frequency equations, you'll at least know combinations which absolutely won't work.
