[QUOTE="christempler, post: 859315, member: 13461"] I've used Goodmans speakers since the 60's and with a big range of amps. Goodmans are efficient so not much power is neded but if you have a big amp, don't tyun it up. It's that simple. A friend is playing an Axiom 201 in a horn cabinet using a Predator with no problems. I have used Radford, Quad II, Leak TL10, 12 and Stereo 20 and also a TacT 2175 SADI which is 220 Watts into 8 Ohm. I have also tried many solid state amps with lots of power and have never had problems - it all depends on your self control. Goodmans do not like SS amps, they tend to sound harsh, with valves they sing. Amongst my speakers I have a pristine pair of Axiom 80's (6 Watts) and they work well with my TacT although they are usually driven by a 15 Watts 300 B Triode SE amp. [/QUOTE]
