Both

I've had many amps over the years and mostly two very different speakers. There were some amps that were just boring whether driving my Tannoys or my Thiels.

But I will admit that the Thiels require much more power. Some amps that were marginally powerful enough for the Thiels really 'lit up' the Tannoys. On the other hand, and as already mentioned above, I've had amps that were anemic and boring with either speaker.

In the case of the ML 383 -AND- the Pass Aleph 3 -AND- some CJ, even reviewers have commented that these were nice but somewhat on the 'polite' side. To me 'polite' is a polite way of saying dynamically challenged which I confirmed for myself in my own listening room.
