    I wonder if a pair of NAD S200 power amps http://www.nadelectronics.com/hifi_amplifiers/s200_framset.htm each bridged as a mono block could handle driving it's own SRT satellite since it says "In bridged mono mode, it will deliver 780 watts of continuous average power (940 watts IHF dynamic power) and 1.3kW of IHF dynamic power into 4 ohms"?

    This amp is a beast, but the following from the amp's owner's manual makes me wary of it, especially since the SRT satellites are shown as a worst case scenario nominal 4 ohm impedance:

    NOTE: In the bridged mode the loudspeaker’s impedance is effectively
    halved as “seen” by the amplifier. An 8 ohm load looks like 4
    ohms, a 4 ohm load looks like 2 ohms, and a pair of 4 ohm
    speakers operated in parallel will resemble a 1 ohm load. Driving
    paralleled low-impedance speakers to high levels will cause the
    amplifier to overheat and shut down, or may cause internal fuses
    to blow in order to protect the amplifier. In bridged mode you must
    connect only ONE loudspeaker per channel whose nominal
    impedance is 8 ohms or higher.
