I would suggest a Viking Thunderbolt Amplifier. I use mine almost every 
day on 75 AM with a resting carrier of 375 watts. I drive it with a 
Ranger in the resister position and I don't need an attenuator. With the 
DX100 you would probably need to use an attenuator between the exciter 
and the TBolt. I monitor on an SB610 and it looks and sounds great.
