Amp and Crossover Recommendation for High End Passive Monitors?

ssprod19 · 17th August 2008

I'm looking for 2 amps and crossover to power Westlake 3-way monitors. Westlake recommends a Bryston 4B for the woofers, 3B for mid/highs with a 10B crossover...

Can anyone recommend quality alternatives for less $$ ?

Here are the specs of the speakers:

Woofer - 12"

Midrange - 6.5"

Tweeter - 1"

Frequency Response ( +/- 3dB )
40Hz-20kHz

Power IEC Short/Long
110W/300W

Sensitivity @ 1m/2.83V
91dB

Crossover Frequency
160Hz/4.5kHz

Impedance Nominal/Minimum
5/3
Inputs
Double, Dual, 5-Way Binding Post for Bi-Wire/Bi-Amp Operation

Try here. They have the 400/700 watt (8/4ohms) versions too, just not listed. I'm crazy about similar class D amps, have 2 Bel Canto S300s.
