Bummer it didn't work out for you.  All the best

As the 2 gentlemen above stated, your amp will work fine with those speakers. Cubs are not all that hard to drive & 400wpc at 4ohms will work well.    Good luck!

@rfnoise - They worked well in a 15' square room. I had them 8' apart, 3' from front wall, & listened (on center) approx. 8' away from them. What Arc amp do you own?

The cubs are really good speakers for the money (most seem to go for around $2000 a pair). Given the room, they will throw a nice soundstage. I had them in my dedicated room for a few years until they were replaced by B&W 802D’s. I’m currently... 
Isn't it really about quality of recording?
The quality of the recording certainly matters but a good system will make a good recording sound better. Simple really.   
STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
@fastfreight - It's a bit of a pain but you can select Qobuz on Roon via the "versions" feature. Problem is you have to click on "versions" & select Qobuz each time you choose an album to listen too.   
Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3
+1 audphile1  Another good amp choice would be one of the larger Magnus Audio (out of California) amps. The MA400 makes my 802D's sing nicely.    
STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
@jeffseight I prefer Roon with Qobuz as do my ears. My ears & I also don't think Tidal is as bad as others seem too.   No "scientific evidence" required.   
Best resistors for use in phono stage?
Hey Steve, I always sought out "Kiwame" resistors for tube equipment. Very nice sounding (definitely not dry or sterile) to my ears.

@bkeske - Thanks so much Brian! Updated the zen firmware per your advice & now have Roon running through USB. Sounds fantastic!   
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@bkeske - So I changed to the "all in one" setting on the ifi streamer & am now able to stream via UBS & Tidal. Still can't figure out Roon & UBS so I am running that via RCA for now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System
I stream "Sector Radio - Classical" out of Russia occasionally & the sound quality is very good. It's on the list @big_greg linked above.      
COMPARE SPEAKERS: B&W 803D4 OR 802D4 TO ML RENAISSANCE ESL 15A
The B&W's seem to like a lot of power. I have older 802D's and am running them with a class AB amp rated at 250WPC for 8 ohms & 500WPC for 4 ohms. I haven't heard the D4's but suspect they like the older D's will be very transparent, so qu...
