I use a Carver 6250 with a 70's pair of Khorns. The unfinished models in raw Birch. I run a pair of JBL L100's in the rear. This setup sounds great.
I got the amp from ebay and should have found a 6200 with about half the power of the 6250. It has what I would call "Tone to the Bone" great for all music and DVD's. I also run a Carver ct-23 preamp w/ a pair of Mcintosh MC30's in the winter to help with the heat. At that time I alsouse a Crown D75 to power the rear speakers. If bored I trade the Mac's out for the Hafler D220. Its all good.
