When you say that the power doubling is "kinda fudged, parameter wise.", may I assume you are referring to the fact that the specsheet shows a THD rise to 1% or so against a 4 ohm load scenario?Because most affordable amps and speakers (and many unaffordable ones) "distort" as bad or worse than this, I'm looking at the A-300 to power a pair of Direct Acoustics Silent Speakers with the "suggested" 200 watts per channel into the (claimed) 4 to 6 ohm load.
In this scenario, the A-300 just might deliver in a fairly linear fashion!
And if the A-300 does indeed have a slightly "cool" sonic character, it might actually mate pretty well with the Silent Speakers' slightly "warm" presentation...
Wish me luck.
