I moved the actives into the main room from the living room a couple of weeks ago. The 160 works very well with them.
As for breathing room, I can't say yet. When I had them in the living room, I was getting a nice, deep soundstage with them 8" from the wall. I suspect the bow window between them really helped. In the basement, I have a lot more room to play with. I'm not satisfied with their positioning in that room. My frame of reference in that room is stand-mounted M5s.
What is the make and model of the ICE-based amp?
