Do I need that much power? Yeah, I think so. The Shahinian speakers are not the most efficient, and really do sing with 200+ watts being fed into them.

Ok, in this case I'd agree that you need lots of power.

Yes, it sounds like the 550 would be a good bet for you.

The funny thing is I know full well that in most cases any pair of speakers will never need more than a few watts to play pretty loudly, but I've run these speakers with a 25 watt pure Class A amp (also a Bedini) and a 200 watter, and the additional power really does help in the low end.
