I own a pair of Vidar's that I run as mono blocks in a two channel system. I have never been able to get my system loud enough for them to clip > 400 watts per amp is a lot of juice. If someone is running them into clipping they either have very inefficient speakers, a giant room with carpet on the wall (sound absorption), or are losing their hearing.
They do run hotted need good ventilation. I don't spend my time comparing a lot of gear, but I suspect one would be hard pressed to find a better sounding amp at that price point.
