the cheapest amp to drive watt/puppy 7

There's a couple of pair of VTL 250 monos on sale here on audiogon, one the older Manley design and one pair the newer (not newest) VTL. Either one would be a great match. Even better would be the MB-450's. A pair just sold here.

I realize that these are not cheap, but to make a point on driving Wilson speakers. I have heard the Maxx's driven by Art Audio PX25 amps delivering 6 watts per and they sounded
fantastic. When I was listening I didn't realize that the Art Audio amps were even on. I thought that one of the other amps were driving these big speakers. So my point is, Wilson speakers are extremely efficient and for something as large as the Maxx's to drive effortlessly and deliver the bass in the tight deep precise delivery they are known for with 6 watts. I would say look for a lower powered amp and focus on sound rather than power. You have the right speaker for any amp, in my opinion.

Of those listed, I would do the AR VS 55i. Should be a nice match.

I tied a Jeff Rowland Concentra II on W/P 7's and it was a terrible match, which surprised me. The MA2275 is a wonderful integrated IMO.

thanks guys, your great input give me a lot of confidance about the direction I am going to. I will try Mcintosh MA2275 and BAT VK300xSE frist. How about the Mark Levinson 383? anyone have the experience? thanks again for your input!!
