Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3

I'm the proud owner of a pair of used NHT 3.3s. From what I've read I should be feeding them with something capable of plenty of power, but I've got them running off a small crappy integrated amp (30W) at the moment. Any suggestions for an upgrade? I'm looking in the < $500 range for something used. Thanks in advance.

Used to have the NHT 2.9's powered by a 250 watt Acurus amp with some good results. Great amps, may be found cheaper as they are no longer made. Acurus was the little brother of Aragon as the 2.9's to the 3.3's. You have some great speakers.

Used ... a NAD C370 or C372 (there's a C372 new for $625 on Audiogon now).

For $500 or less, a used Adcom GFA-5500 has 200 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, so it would be even more than that into the 3.3's 6 Ohm load, and it is a Mosfet amp, which is supposedly a little warmer sounding than bi-polar designs.
