M25 questions

I'm just curious. I've got a few soundstream class a amps that im going to implement into my frontstage... I've decided after some advice and thinking that I'm going to use the 6.0 on my 4" mids and tweets. The question is the midbass. I have a picasso that i was going to bridge on the midbass but after thinking about it I'd like to use it in another install. The question is that I have a very nice M25 that I could use. Would this power my 6.5in CDT ES-6 midbass'? I've honestly never run an M25... I've run an M44 and M100 with great results but this amp isn't as powerful. I've heard here on the forum that the M25 seems to be the sq reference of the M series. anyways, enough rambling... any thoughts?

I would stick with the soundstream the
M25 is a great amp but not the power you will need. its like (real world) 65x2 and 140 x1 bridged but she will run hot.It almost like running 1/2 a m44 would you use it for your mids?
I liked my m25 for MB 51/4 mid/tweeter or a single 12"12w1-4 when i had mine

Hmm... makes sense to me. I will try out the Picasso then. Thanks!

Im using 2 M25 to push a Ti6Elite set...works pretty fine, in "dual mono", I mean each one bridged to each side...
Anyway I not that sure if you don't bridge It will give the juice that you want.

Put the 6.0 on the midbass, and the Picasso on the components. Honestly, the Picasso is still hands down the best amp I have ever heard for components. It is built with them in mind, and if you run a Picasso on subs it will probably smoke. The Picasso has one of the weakest power supplies I have ever seen in an amplifier.

X2

strange that it has such a small power supply, yet, sounding so good.
I'm getting another one, that's for sure

I've heard that a lot about the picasso. hmm. I'll try both ways. My first decision was to run it that way. I heard that the 6.0 has a much stronger power supply than the picasso. so I'll most likely run it that way. I really want to go active but with the upstage kit I don't think I can. I have the equipment to run active... I just need to get all the details figured out.
