I have a friend who owns the K2's. ( S5500 ). They must be the biggest two-way monitors ever made! My experience with the K2's is that they require very high power amps although their sensitivity might suggest otherwise.
I have * seen * pictures of three systems with K2's, one using Levinson 33 amps , second with 4 rowland amps - active , third with two 300W mac's & stellavox's for the highs .Even my friend is using a Mac 350w amp which he plans to bi-amp with another. I have also seen the owners manual in which they recommend up to 300w amps in bi-amp config.
Most of the K2 systems i have seen are very complex using multiple amps , external crossovers & driven in active mode etc. I guess you need to do all this to get them
to sound their best. I don't mean to put you off with all the complexities you can very well try a simple tube amp as suggested & see if it's your cup of tea.Good luck.
