The Karan KA-i180 will drive your speakers with no problem! Check out the TNT review. I have been using this integrated for 3 years after going through the upgrade paths over and over. My last amp was a Melos MAT-180 tube amp with Melos' Maestro preamp. This was a very good combo, but the Karan is better. You owe it to yourself to try one. People that own these rarely get rid of them. My Melos separates were $8k retail. IMHO you would need to spend more then $12K to get better. I have spoken to other owners of the KA-i180 that compared it to $20 separates. My speakers are Merlin VSM-M (89db) and I can drive them to very loud levels with no problem. Integrated amps are a great way to compact your system. The Karan integrated will not compact the sound quality! There are some who think separates sound better (I was one) until I heard the Karan KA-i180.
