I bought a used Alesis amp on eBay, the middle sized one, for my Mixcubes and it sounds great. It doesn't require a whole bunch of power to get the things happening. A Hafler would be great. 100 watts a side and you've got plenty of headroom for transients.

I always wondered how those alesis amps were.

I am using a Carver stereo amp I have had for years which is about 175 watts per side. It sounds great with the mixcubes. If the Hafler is 100 watts a side clean I am sure it will rock. I never really rock the mixcubes too loud anyway, but the extra watts help the clarity.
