I've heard excellent sound from the DeHavilland single-ended amps with the earlier Alon Lotus Elite Signature speakers. The DeHavilland GM-70 amps produce 50 watts per channel and mate well with the 8-ohm nominal impedance of the Nola design.
Room setup is important with any speakers. If you have a rectangular room, check out the formulas on the Cardas::Insights::Room Setup page. The formulas will tell you where the speakers will have the least overlap of bass nodes. The calculated position may not be practical, but it is worth trying to hear what the speakers can do.
Kara Chaffee, the builder of DeHavilland amps, sometimes uses a diagonal setup in difficult show locations.
I don't have bi-wire experience with such speakers to be able to give advice.
