Recently, I was listening to Cohen's last album using my TT at a fairly high volume (Kenny KA-701 volume knob was almost set at noon position), on a EPI 100 stack (2 pairs) . Amp started to clip on and off quickly. Turned down the volume and everything was fine. Still, quite annoying and now I fear I could damage the amp or speakers, if it's not already happened. So I guess I do need a bit more power to drive that stack? Some AKers did suggest recently I would ideally need more power to make those speakers shine.
Also, I recently goy my hands on a pair of Image Concept 200 (pre-Energy). I'd like to really drive them with a solid receiver/pre and PA to do them justice. I'd like to get my hands on a Kenwood KR 9600. I prefer receivers to power amps if only for their good looks... but please let me know if you feel this is not a good choice, or if you have alternatives to suggest.
