"Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others...
yes Paul, lite loaded for sure....they are a wonderful combo w/the RM10. I've tried & owned some other tube amps that sounded wretched in comparison w/these speakers. They don't suffer fools lightly.Coincident Speaker Tech Partial Eclipse II S...

PrimaLuna dialogue 2 or Caryaudio SLI80 4ML Summit
