Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought
congrats! place them with their backs up against the wall and as wide apart as you can manage. any high power amp of decent quality should do nicely. also, if these dont have the Lsi mod i would highly recommend it.

B&W's flagship Nautilus speaker (you know, the "Racing Snails"). I wont say it's the perfect speaker, but I could not detect any flaws in the sound or the presentation.
