Right now I'm using an Arcam A85 integrated, but if I built a pair of high effeciency speakers, I'd probably consider an SET amp (like a bottlehead kit). On a side note, for music, I listen to new rock, classic rock, jazz (old, new, swing, big band, etc.) blues, and some pop (Think Maroon 5, DMB, Gavin Degraw, John Mayer etc.). Basically everything except classical (though I DO listen to that too, just not as often.) My main concern is definately that these speakers be dynamic, which I think is a safe bet based on the design, but that they are very non-fatiguing to listen to.
