I did try hooking the v2 of this model up to my dev120 but I did have to turn it up quite a bit so not sure if it's a good match, sounded good though, appears to be SAM enabled now, although no graphs last time I looked...edit graphs are up now!
Their rated sensitivity is 85db at a nominal 8ohm impedance (though this does not tell the whole story as not clear what impedance sinks to over the lower frequency range), so not over efficient, so IMHO will take a bit of driving with the D120. I originally tried the D200 with my Wilson Benesch ACT1s and, at a rated 86db, nominal impedance of 6ohm, the D200 coped but I felt that it did not control the speakers very well. I went for the D400 and that was a whole different ball game.
You say that you had to turn up the Amp quite a bit - what value of db were you driving it at in comparison to your existing speakers (and what are they)?
