Recently i am looking for a power amplifier or integrated amplifier to suit my Wilson Benesch Discovery 3 loudspeaker.
Here's my list
1.Ypsilon phaethon integrated (110W)
2.Pilium odysseus integrated (200W)
3.Nagra Classic AMP power amplifier(100W)
4.Soulution 511 power amplifier(120W)
5.Boulder 1160 power amplifier(300W)
6.Dan D'Agostino proqression S300 power amplifier(300W)

I am very confused that how much power can drive this pair of loudspeakers?
which one suits best?

Hi hushpuppy,
I'm afraid I haven’t any useful experience to offer re your WB Discovery speakers, but I would like to suggest that the Nagra Classic AMP, aside from being probably the least expensive amp on the list, can very conveniently be paired up and run in vertical biamp mode or in bridged mono. Either way, that would give you 200W per side, more authoritative drive and might be more competitive with the other amps on your excellent list. As for size, two Classic AMPs are roughly the same size as any one of the others. i hope you will have a chance to audition some of them before purchase. Good luck and be sure to let us know how it turns out.
