Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS

These are the speakers
https://content.abt.com/documents/8800/M7_cut-sheet.pdf
As you can read: suggested power rating of 100-300w, 87dB sensitivity. I’m gonna need a brute of an amp to drive these things.

I have this headphone amp, which can be used as a preamp for powered desktop speakers, but don’t know if it could be used as a preamp for a power amp.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Edit: looks like the Lyr 2 can be used as a preamp. So that leaves me with the decision of the power amp.

I hooked up my system today, and even with the Lyr as a preamp it sounded fantastic. The bass especially was tight, controlled, and impactful. The McCormack drove the speakers extremely well with minimal distortion. I am very happy with this purchase, and now just have to sort out some room issues to get the most out of this system.

One of my biggest regrets in audio is selling my McCormack DNA 125, they make great amplifiers.... Enjoy....
