Energy Veritas 2.8.speaker best paired to which amp and preamp

Does anyone have experience with which amplifier and preamp combination would best pair with the Energy Veritas 2.8. speaker?

The speaker’s sensitivity is 86,5db, The recommended amplifier power is suggested to be between 80-400 watts RMS per channel and the max watts are 500 watts for instantaneous peaks with less than 10% clipping. The impedance is 4,6 ohms */- 1,3 ohms.

I was leaning toward the Classe CA-2300 over the Classe CA- 2200. It’s rated at 300 watts at 8 ohms and 600 Watts into 4 ohms as opposed to 200 watts at 8 ohms and 400 Watts into 4 ohms.

Would the extra 200 watts at 4 ohms be overkill for having the more headroom?

I have my 2.8’s triamped with three NAD 208 amps- works for me.

I have my 2.8’s next to my acoustat 2+2’s which are driven by a 100w Jolida tube amp.

I have my 2.8’s connected with silver played 10g wire I got cheap from a surplus store and frankly, at the volume I listen at, it’s massive overkill .

But hey, overkill is good! These amps are huge but honestly , I think three 100w amps triamped would be very good too.

Just keep them the same brand /model or you’ll be constantly fiddling with them.
