If you want to really experience what the 2.5 have to offer, I am afraid you`ll need some serious power.
My setup is:
ARC LS2B MkII Preamp
Electrocompaniet EMC 1 UP (Balanced to pre)
Plinius SA250 Mk 4 (Biwired)
The Plinius SA250 would probably benefit from a tad bigger speakers than the 2.5, but believe me, it can drive them so deep -and effortlessly keep them there- that I couldn`t believe it at first. SA250 has so much current available on tap that the speakers easily can sound compressed and loose spatial dimensions if not biwired. Must, however, be careful with the volume-pot position, as the SA250 accidentally can kill the ProAcs.
Have tried ARC Classic 60 and Conrad Johnson MF2500 with the 2.5, but none of them will even come close to the SA250 Mk4.
