I've heard a PB1i driven with a SimAudio i3.3 (100@8, 200@4), it sounded glorious. So relatively modest power amps can do a terrific job of making these speakers sing... I'm not saying that the MC402 is modest, but that you will have sufficient power on tap. I just cannot stress the speaker/room interface when talking about the EB.
I get a better bass when I run my EB1i from the 8 ohm terminals of the 2301's. A very clear improvement compared to the 2 and 4 ohms. Don't know why.
