D400 power output at 8 ohms

I searched quite a lot but did not find an official spec for how much power the D400 outputs at 8 ohms.

I own a D200 and have quite a good deal to buy a pair of  Triangle Magellan Quatuor speakers. 

Links for this speakers here:

This speakers are rated at 260W handling power - nominal impedance 8 ohms.
I tested them with the D 200 and it cannot drive them properly. The sound is thin and saturated.
This speakers tested on an McIntosh C1100 Tube preamp + 2 x 1.2kw McIntosh monos sound PHENOMENAL. I got to have them.
Dealer told me this speakers need lots of current. For example we tested them on the 4 ohm output of the McIntosh monos and they sounded even better!

I was thinking that perhaps buying a D200 companion will help me to drive this fabulous speakers.

Any ideas ?
Even though the Speakers may be a nominal 8 Ohm impedance, under dynamic load, all speakers will dip a lot lower than this. I would imagine that the Triangles are a difficult load and the only way to see if a D400 could cope is to arrange an audition, preferably in your own room.
