I have the Atom GT1's supplied when they did a package with a 130. With Sams they shouldn't be ignored. They take a while to break in, but I have been delighted with them. They sound like floor standers. I am not saying you can't do better, but My AE1's with their own Sam's profile were completely blown away by them.
If you want to drive big speakers you may need a 220, but my system is plenty powerful enough for me. Clarity of the system is extraordinary, every instrument , every vocal is defined. That said, unlike other systems in the past that have gone for detail, the Expert pro is melodic and lovely to listen to for long periods.
