You need to consider synergy with the amp. Impedance matching is just one factor. I paired my ARC 5SE w/ MC 601s on Magnepan 3.7s and it was rather lifeless compared to the ARC VT200 I traded in on the 601s. I am in the camp of amp/preamp from same mfg. unless you can audition various combinations in your system before purchase.
