Eminent Technology 8b Speakers - Amp/wattage Recommendations
Eminent Technology says "The LFT-8b is biampable.". So just ask the designer, the best way to do that.  
ARC LS7 preamp channels drop out intermittently

If it was me, I’d match them with a Cary SLP-98 preamp and a Parasound A21+ or maybe two. You'll have your tube goodness and the power you need to play loud.
