Love Platinum Audio Solo's. Those speakers love power. They have just an 84db efficiency. I live just a few miles down the road from where the company was located in Bedford NH. My local dealer sold the Platinum line. I would look at the Parasound A23+ and ideal the Bryston 4B3 or a used 4B SSt2 to save some money. Great speakers but they love power. Best bass response I ever heard out of a monitor. Designer Phil Jones loves getting as much bass as possible out of his speakers. The cost is you need a lot of power.
