What speakers with Aloia power amps?

I have two Aloia power amps that I bi-amp Dunlavy Cantata speakers with. When I switched to the Aloia, over a year now, the sound turned really nice and very pleasing.

But, the new speaker bug has been flying around and I want to know what you have matched with these amps and are there any definite will-not-work speakers with the Aloia that anyone has come across?

Talons, JM Labs, Kharma, Vendersteens, Wilson, Eggleston...what would you add, what would you take off this list?

thanks!

I beieve the 150I aloia amps can drive anything. I am using them on Piega 10's. also they drove the Dunlavy line well. The 1501 are twice as good as the 130I. I loaned the Aloias to a Soundlab owner who was Quite pleased as well.

Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback. There seems to be a strong, narrow, camp of folks on the 'Gon who are really into the Piegas. I'm in the Boston area and I'll see if there is a dealer around. Since speakers are rather cumbersome, I prefer to buy local to make the trade-in, transport part of the equation easier. Can the Piegas be bi-amp'd? I didn't mention before but I have the 13.01 inductive amplifiers.

Speakers-amplfiers go so much hand-in-hand that is always raises the next question. Do I need to upgrade both for the sake of upgading one?

It's interesting that the Aloia importer is also the Piega importer. I'm not sure what this says, maybe nothing.
