The Hegel C-55.
5 x 150W into 8 Ohms, doubling each time into 4 Ohms and 2 Ohms.
5 modules, each with its own power supply.
This amplifier also exists as a C-53 and C-54 (3 and 4 channel versions).
The rears and the centre channel were driven by it, the fronts by a H590.
That beast delivers 2 x 300W into 8 Ohms.
I don't know exactly why, because the C-55 seemed more than capable enough to deliver the power for all 5 KEFs.
Ben told us he wanted to imitate the trptk studio as closely as possible: the H590 houses the H30s the studio has.
Power handling:
A more than full room.
