I used pioneer sx1280’s to drive dq10 and two dq 1’s can get 85-95 dB before running into issues when deep bass comes up like cannons on 1812.
I have a mac2300 380 wpc texted but it’s big and 125kbs. It drives all easily to dB you can’t stand . Mac 2300 are 2500$ and bigger then your specs. I suspect two carvers would be just as good!
But a good 200 w receiver can get by even with subs.. I have two set ups . Second using a polk powered sub and it easily exceeds the dq1’s and doesn’t rob power from receiver .
Options?

I have an application for a compact amplifier. I’m considering the Carver M-400 amplifier due?to it’s compact size and 201 watt per?channel rating.?
Im looking for recommendations on other available modern?compact amplifiers. My space constraints dictate a maximum amplifier chassis of 12”L x 12”W x 12”H.?
I’ll be using the amplifier to drive DQ-10 speakers.
Budget maximum: $1,000.
