Thanks for your advice so far on the 7's. I had actually forgotten about the Stratos, might be a good choice. I'm not that familiar with the Plinius line at all, however I have heard good things regarding the line in general. What preamps are you using with these SS amps. Think a nice tube pre would be a good choice or should I stay with a SS pre as well ? Everybody that has commented so far seems to support the fact that more power is better. Not so much for volume levels but I suspect for overall control, headroom, dynamics, that sort of thing. The 7's do seem to have great speed and pitch. I'm really surprised at their ability to play in a not so big room without getting out of hand. I did notice however on some bass extremes the 7's can exhibit (at least in my room with current gear) some odd kind of vibration in the drivers on a couple of odd bass notes or lower frequency drums at a little higher volume. This may well be because of not nearly enough power for good control over the drivers, etc. Any thoughts on that ? Could also just be the recording perhaps.
