Never heard of that model speaker, but you can't go wrong with something like this:

or you could go the cheapie route with something like this:

Paul, That B******er only drives 175wpc into 8 ohms. Definitely not going to get the job done on these speakers.

WOW. They must be advertising peak figures. Pricks. Personally I'd avoid B like the plague, but some guys(including some big names) actually say good things about some of their products. At any rate, after the rebate that's a pretty decent price for the Crown, which will get the ol' job done .

They're advertising the 2 ohm (700wpc) and 4 ohm (1700w bridged mono) output, not the 8 ohm. Big difference.

(edit)

And yeah, that Crown should do the job nicely.

Maybe a Crown XTi 2000 or a Peavey PV2600.

I have their little brothers, XTi 1000 in my bass rig and a PV1500 for my PA monitors.

No complaints out of the Crown in about a year. The Peavey has been a solid performer for about 4 years now.

NOTE: If you are running these for multiple hours per night in a club, I'd look into something built for the commercial market.

Peavey GPS 2600 comes to mind there.
