I have just built a B1 pre amp with two boards as I am going to build a pair of mono block amps . Can I ask which of the Pass Lab amps would suit this set up.

room, speakers, habits regarding SPL and even choice of music ?
even if I'm on stance that properly chosen setup must sing with everything - from girly ambiental to heavy metal

I agree with Zen on that last part. I don't like a system that falls apart with complex source material. My system has occasionally been "play this, but not that..." through it's iterations..
Hi Sent pics of my B1 and my speakers did you receive them and if you did can you advise on which mono amps you recommend.

I have a pair of three and a half way speakers built by myself. I have sent photos of them with responses graph along with pics of my B1 to zen mod. This is the first post for me so learning the ropes.

Do I read the graphs correctly - 4 ohm speakers with ~ 85db sensitively? If the room is big, and you want loud, you will need more than a few watts. Some of these FirstWatt amps are not happy below 8ohm. Of course, my speakers are 6 ohm, and I have not noticed issues. My room is small.
My first DIY solid state amp was an Aleph J. One of the straight forward to build amps. Although the power goes down at 4 ohm speakers. Some of the amps get more wattage with lower ohm speakers, some less.
Your speakers are beautiful, but have you tried any other amps with them? You might get an idea of how much power sounds good, to you, in your room.
Here is Mr. Pass’s summary of his amps. Most are available for DIY, all the ones not in current production. Yes, Mr. Pass is very generous with his talent here.

They are 8ohm speakers and I have been driving them with 2 Arcam Alpha 8 amps one intergrated one power. My CD player is an Arcam CD 92 with a Tent Labs clock installed.
The impedance plot above shows 4 Ohms.
This is what you have to take into consideration.
The amps below will be suitable, not listed in any particular order.
