I have the Nines and have found them wonderfully responsive to various amplifiers.

I started out using a Rogue Atlas. My previous setup had been a Rogue Zeus driving Thiel 2.3s.

I heard the Nines at two dealers. The first paired Manley gear and the second was Shindo. I knew once I got the speakers they could shine.

The Atlas was good, but not really resolving enough. I went then to a Rogue Stereo 90 Super Magnum. That was a nice pairing. Deep bass an crisp highs. Very musical. I tried a Pass XA-30 for a while and that seemed to sharpen things up. All the while I was using a modified preamp from Bob Backert.

I've since moved to the Ayre AX-5 and I am amazed at how good this is.

This is a very long post to say the Nines are a wonderful speaker that will shine with great gear behind them.
