bottleneck
talks a load of rubbish
unfortunate, but not every piece of hifi can make a good match.
maybe we can reccomend some big fat solid state amps for you then.
perhaps something with a couple of hundred watts of class A, or digital power might get those hard to drive speakers up and running.
these are fantastic beasts

Thats a 250w per channel class A!! amp. They are mosfet, from memory. From experience, you turn them on, the lights dim. Honestly, its a tank in disguise. Even second hand, you're pushing budget... theres a 125w version (havent heard sorry) that you could get imported for under 1000 dollars - 600 quid (ish) MF2250 I believe.
You can read all about them at Conrad Johnsons website
The MF2500 would be my sub-1,000 pounds power amp of choice if I wanted solid state.
Cheers
Chris
