We just started carrying the Nuforce line in Canada so you may want to take the following with a grain of salt.
I'm also driving Soundlab A1's; until recently with the JC 1. It's a great combination that's worked well for the last few years and recommend it strongly. I had an ML 334 prior to the JC 1 and they just didn't have the power to drive the speakers at the sound level I most often listen.
About a week ago i hooked up some Nuforce 9SE V2 amps; it surprised me that they could drive the A1. Plugged straight into the wall, it was about even, although the bass on the 9se v2 was clearly in a different league, but once i plugged the 9SE V2 in into a PS Audio Powerplant 300 it was clear these amps worked very well in my system. Give the NUforce a listen; the US dealers have a trial program, assuming you're in the States.
