Somebody else will give you the stats but if you are set on the AN regardless, buy them and see if the Can is enough.

I think you'll be fine and you lose nothing by trying in existing rig then buying bigger amp if needed. My Aeon RT aren't that hard to drive.

My noire aren't super hard to drive either but with negative gain and EQ settings it's nice to have a bit headroom.

But still my Singxer SA-1 and Smsl SP400 are plenty powerful in low gain even with 10 band EQ and 3-4db negative gain.

I'm pretty sure you could get away with a topping mobile headphone amp.

I've used a Grace M903, Grace M900, they need to be maxed to drive the A2N loud enough inside of protools, I'll try one off my laptop today. The Topping NX4 has plenty of gain. Fiio BTR5 won't drive them loud enough (unbalanced, haven't tried balanced), neither will my laptop MBP or iphone. Rednet AM2 falls apart at louder volumes.

Topping G5 sounds fantastic on medium gain with the used Noire I just picked up
