Many thanks to those who responded...much appreciated! I would like to ask a couple of follow-up questions.
I am uncertain what specifications to look for in researching "high power, high current amps". I know one thing to look for is that as impedance drops, watts/ch ought to rise--250 watts for 8 ohms, 500 watts for 4 ohms, 1000 watts for 2 ohms, etc. Is this high power or high current? What specs indicates these things? Reviewers often don't tell how a particular amp will work over a long time driving such low impedance speakers.
Second, I checked the specs of my ARC VT-100 and it is only rated into 8 ohms. Are tube amps generally well suited or ill suited to operate into the 2 ohm load of the CS 3.6?
