You all may want to check out Legacy's Powerbloc latest generation amps; I heard them in Atlanta driving Valor and Caliber XD and late this summer at Legacy driving Valor and Whisper XDS.  Frankly they opened my eyes to what is possible today with lower cost/higher value/well-designed amplification.  I don't know specs but believe Legacy would share anything that they have but they are definitely worth a listen before you spend more than their price point.

Yes...the best advice is to compare them at home in your system; that is the only way to know.  I can tell you only about the Powerbloc2 based upon recent hearing. It's amazing and at such a low price I cannot believe what it puts out there in terms of overall musical enjoyment, sound and imaging.  

For me it's not Class A as I've always preferred the magic of a great A/B design. My current Esoteric A-02 has a broad power range in Class A before switching but either output range and amp mode provides amazing sound for the money.  I may pick up a Powerbloc for comparison and if, not when I also bring a pair of Legacy Valor into this system, I'll need more amps and for that, the Powerbloc is an inviting combination of sonic excellence and price/value!
