Amp for Mirage M1 Si's??


Picked up a pair of M1's and am wondering what might
be the best amp for around $500-$1000 or so.
They are very power hungry it seems. I have a 200 W/PC
integrated that by itself is on the warmer side of nuetral
and these M1's seem to still be a little under powered (83db)
and on the darker laid back side. What would give these
some sparkle & kick?
I like the overall potential of these to pursue the
right amp.
Room is 20x20x12

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Brand new--they came w/spikes---Don't expect much in bass definition w/o spikes.--Get U some.
As I remember from the manual their setup instructions were "spot-on"--Something like 3 to 3 and 1/2 feet back and sides for unbelievable imaging.--Of course that was for the 3si's---I would also at least try the short wall. My short wall is wider than your 12;wide. Mine is 14.6 wide and that worked well.---(That rear tweet loves proper reflection.)
Thanks Avguygeorge,

I have mine right at at 3'4" feet off back wall at the moment.
And they are 9.4' apart center to center with about
2" of toe in or so. I have a 46" LCD in between
(Which I know does not help) and a big tree behind
the right speaker. Center image is pretty darn good,
but wonder if going closer together might make it better?
We'll see.
Anyway, thanks for the advise, will try to find out
what size spikes I need and get some.
Another thing I failed to mention, is I am using my Blu-Ray
player since I sold my Naim CD5i, and thought I could
live with it but will have to get another cdp.

Thanks,
Bob
I paired my M1's with a Classe CA200. I liked the sound. Its about 1000 bucks for one. I thought the classe was warm and detailed and had enough power for the mirages.
Spikes were definitely standard and bundled from Mirage.

The best sound I hav ever heard was M1si driven by a CJ EV2000. Unfortunately the Evolution 2k is out of your price range but the mf series is not.

I have to admit that the class d recc makes a ton of sense too.
I have a pair of M1si, try the Rotel RB-1090 380watts. I used this combo for about one year with great results, then upgraded to the Bryston 7bsst2 with even better results, but also a large price increase. Dollar for dollar the Rotel RB-1090 is a excellent amp for the $1000 range used, it can not be beat for the price.
