I have used the SFS 80 on the Re quest, the question is at what levels? 80 watts will do fine to a point. If you put an Adcom amp on that system it will be the biggest mistake you will likely make so far this year. Tubes have always done fine on ML speakers, set the taps to the lowest outputs this may require some re soldering of the out put trans contact "Sonic Fronties. I have had alot of experience driveing ML with SF 80 and the 160 it is a great combination.
