Ok so I am looking for some recommendations for an amp for my speakers.

I bought Focal 165 vr1 

RMS Power=75 watts

Peak =150 w

4 ohms

Dumb question but I am assuming I need a channel for each woofer and each twitter so four channels.  

Is it as basic as finding a four channel amp putting out 75 watts rms per channel?

Would I want a slightly more powerful amp per channel so I can turn the gains down?

My plan is to run them active off of the computer I am now almost completed building.

My goal is SQ.  I am not looking or really have any desire to compete with it but want to learn how to make it sound awesome.

All comments are welcomed.

do not under any circumstances amplify twitter. twitter is overamplified as it is ;)

headroom is always nice (more power on tap than necessary)

if you want to forego the passive xover, get a 4 channel for the mids and tweets, but youll need a dsp or an active capable deck

The SIA is a great line of amps. People like to hate. My little SIA does work with 4-8's. And it bangs the lows.
