Nagra VPA or ARC VTM200

i have similarly efficient speakers that i drive with a pair of nagra vpa's. i've owned numerous amps but none as magical as these. i can't imagine replacing them but i've not had the big arc in my system. the vpa's, of course, will mate perfectly with your pl-p. be forwarned, tho; the msrp on the nagra's has just risen to $23k.

yes. 50 watts are plenty. the vpa's have tons of current. mine have never come close to "hitting the pins" on the output meters, let alone clipping, even when the speakers (ae-3 sig. II's) are driven at spl's near the point of pain. and the sound remains coherent, even replicating a live performance, a room or two away.
