i have this amp now driving usher 6381's and before that paradigm studio 60 v2. it is very high current and will play load way beyond it's 80 watts. but i am looking for something a little bit more transparent. two amps i am looking at are the cayin 265 ai and music hall mambo which are in the same price range as the denon. i am also looking at the bv audio bvs300i integrated amp.
