A theoretical question for those who are much smarter than me (literally everyone haha). Which do you think would be better for driving a pair of Sierra LX speakers, for music only, by themselves (no subwoofer):

1) A vintage (1980ish) 230ish WPC (into 8 ohm) Class A/B power amp

or

2) A modern (2023ish) 150 WPC (into 8 ohm) Higher End Class D (dual hypex modules I think) power amp?

I have read comments elsewhere that Class D excels with bass control and is better with less efficient speakers, so it might yield tighter and cleaner low end with these low efficiency speakers. I have also read there is no substitute for power, and that Class D is trash (so many people hate on class D!) so a good A/B power amp with more WPC will give the best performance.

Looking for peoples input and experiences that might help me get the most out of these beautiful speakers.
