I would agree with Sdcampbell, but would add that if you want any significant volume from your studios, I would go to the ML 432 or 436's, they are pretty power hungry. For this reason as well, I would forgo the Dreadnaught (unless you need multichannel) and consider the Theta Enterprise monoblocks, which I've listened to with both the Salons and Studios and really did a great job with them. Personally, when I get my Salons soon, they will be run by ML (either 432 or 436's) amps and I will 'keep it all in house' so to speak.
