Great sounding speaker. I particularly like how well the ribbon integrates with the rest of the drivers--something quite rare with this type of driver.
I have heard these speakers with some fairly low-powered electronics, including the cheaper amps from the Italian company Synthesis. These speakers do not seem to need much power to fill a large room. I would NOT restrict choice to something that delivers 100 watts or more.
These speakers struck me as delivering a fairly rich and complete harmonic structure and are not lean sounding like a lot of modern speakers. This should make them pretty compatible with a wide range of electronics. For solid state, I like the lower-powered offering of Ayre. For tube amps, I would look at Synthesis, AudioSpace, Ayon, Joule, Atmasphere and Conrad Johnson.
