From This Moment On CD Diana Krall 2006 Verve Records Amazon.com This album appears in the footsteps of 2004's The Girl in the Other Room but doesn't sound like a follow-up.

Appassionata CD Ramsey Lewis Trio 1999 Narada Jazz This 1999 release showcases the diverse pianist, Ramsey Lewis, in a more straight-ahead jazz environment. Concentrating much of his career on blending together pop and jazz to create (essentially) easy listening music, it's nice to hear Lewis return to his roots in a traditional jazz setting.

I think you're right. I am driving my La Scala's (org.) with a David Hafler 100wpc (8 ohms) amp. and there is plenty of head room. I rarely turn it up to the half way point. I too am using a sub. So I would think 185wpc (4 ohms) would give you plenty of headroom. Dennie
