You don't drive your Porche 150 mph daily, but you know you can if you want to. Maybe Pass xa 200.5 class A is capable for the job ?

Oh, I see. I don't play that loud either. No more than 90db. Yeah, maybe. I have my sights set on the Accuphase Class A A-70 amp. Here's the catalog.

It is conservatively rated at 60 Wpc into 8 Ohms. The real output is double that. Also, the damping factor is 800. I was shocked to see that on a Class A amp.
At the 2015 CES, it drove a pair of power hungry Magicos very well as far as I could tell.
Pricewise, the Pass Lass XA200.5 is $7000 more than the Accuphase here in the US if we're talking about retail price.
