My Elekit TU-8500 has been faultless (though a friend built for me rather than Victor) and am sure a factory or Victor-built amp would also be. Especially as you live essentially 'next-door' to him. He gets high marks in DIY forum, as well.

As for power, the Cary monoblocks are rated at 50wpc (they should be powerful @ 88#, each) and the Line Magnetic at 30wpc. There is some current discussion in the "Chinese High-End" thread, above, on the LM-845.

Something else to keep in mind is how much more 'powerful' sounding Class A amps usually are. Anything above 90db sensitivity doesn't take much power and even the Elekit 300B amp makes 12wpc. Decisions, decisions.................. good luck with your choice and keep us posted.
