First of all a disclaimer: In no way affiliated to any of those people..
I am a violinist, using this gear for profession and fun.
But..
A friend of mine is using and tweaking ambience speaker with more than great results, but then he is an audiophile beyond the usual measure.
His ambience Ref 1800 sound way better than an also very good 20.1 of another friend; and the reason might be in amplification demands:
The Maggie friend uses very big Pass monos, whereas the Ambience friend uses Berning ZH270, and my ZH230 are way enough for speakers with 96db not going below 4 Ohm.
So the answer is, yes, you can run them with RWA no fear. I have driven Quads with them, and my own speakers are Merlins.
Now to the RWA: They do have a drawback: the best sound is to be got with freshly loaded batteries, loosing colours after 20 minutes or so, this is a bit system dependent, and also related if you do discerning listening, which I certainly don't always do;-)
About the Audio Consulting (www.audio-consulting.ch) that's a completely different kettle of fish! Look it up. I use the small MIPA, with 30 Watts. Certainly the best amp I have ever come across, but this is completely unshippable ;-)
But you can pick up a 2nd hand RWA for nothing and go for a great speaker in Australia - ask Australians, not the Swiss ;-)
