The issue really isn't power

When my stats were off for repair (following disastrous trucking company damage), I hooked the doubles up to 450 watt VTL tube monoblocks. While they had plenty of power, the sound was muffled and dark - which is nothing at all how they sound with the Sound Lab stats. Advents need lower output impedance (high damping factor) to really sing. You need a SS amp.

As for power, one advantage of running doubles is with SS amps that double down power with lower impedance (assuming they're happy with 3 ohms), you effectively get ~6db more output. Or conversely, require one fourth the power for a given level. I was able to drive mine with a Threshold Stasis at a decent level running 4 watts while still running class A.
