I have tried many different combinations with the one's and have found them to sound best with warmer sources and amplification. I have used Solid State amps and tubes and have found that they sound best to me through tubes. With that said, I'm using a Conrad Johnson Classic SE and Rogue M-180 Mono's. They most definitely respond to power, but I have listened to them through a 60 watt Conrad Johnson amp and found them just a pleasurable in a much sweeter way. Consider used equipment on Audiogon. I don't think you can go wrong with brands like Conrad Johnson, Rogue, and Quicksilver and for solid state NAD, Ayre and Musical Fidelity. The One’s are very transparent, if there is a weak link in your chain you will hear it.
... I would like to understand where the weak spot can be before actually hearing it.
With no doubt, Rougue is great, but monoblocks cost more than pair of One-s
Conrad Johnson Classic SE (about 1,5 - 2k$) is, on the other hand, more affordable solution (just a pre-).
So, I'll need 100 - 300 wpc @ 4 Ohms (300 is, of course, more preferable) stereo or monoblock amps (monos are, again more preferable).
elem79, thank you very much for your advice
