Wyred 4 sound hits your budget and your wpc requirement. They are class D. Could go integrated, monoblocks or dual mono. I have the dual mono version st500 mk II. I like it a lot. Runs cool (good for your small room) sounds towards warm side. The music room on agon usualluly has some used ones available. I also found some sx1000 (not the “r”) on my local Craigslist for $940. Happy to help with the transaction if you decide to go that route. Pm me if you do.
Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS
These are the speakers

As you can read: suggested power rating of 100-300w, 87dB sensitivity. I’m gonna need a brute of an amp to drive these things.

I have this headphone amp, which can be used as a preamp for powered desktop speakers, but don’t know if it could be used as a preamp for a power amp.
Any and all thoughts appreciated.
Edit: looks like the Lyr 2 can be used as a preamp. So that leaves me with the decision of the power amp.
