Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS

"stereo5 -- Don’t expect much for 500.00"

Regrettably, There are some cold hard facts here:

(A) +1 (emphasis added) in full agreement with STEREO5’s post above.... full stop.

(B) Without prejudice to (A) above....Everything in this hobby is built to its pricepoint = you only get what you pay for. Hence, at your stated pricepoint strata, there is negligible to nil audio performance differentiation between them all. Your choice is distilled down to just "pick one of ’em" from the available pool of contenders and pretenders .

(C) on a more positive note....

IMO you are forced to go for used if you want to step up to at least mid-fi  eqyipent . I'd suggest looking at a used NAD C370 integrated amp at that Pricepoint strata.

Best of luck.

If I remember correctly from your previous thread you have a fairly small room that these are going to go into, correct?  You're not going to need monster power to drive them to loud listening levels, even with their middling sensitivity. 

If you like Schiit gear, the Vidar is worth a look.  The Nord Acoustics amps mentioned above are also a great choice.  They use Hypex nCore modules, which are considered to be some of the best amp modules on the market right now.  They're also used by ATI and by NAD.  

Pro amps can be an excellent value also.  I have a Crown XLS1502 driving my Infinity Intermezzos.  It's clean, runs cold, and has more power output than I'll ever need.  

Look for a used Anthem I225 Integrated amp . Should be well under a $1000. 
It will drive those speakers very well. Phono, headphones and 225 watts into 8 ohms, 310 into 4 ohms.

I don't see it the same way you do. 87 db. is not all that bad. I have speakers that are 87 db efficient and have driven them with 845 single ended tube amps. 28 watts. 
The speakers look good. I would look for a good sounding tube amp KT 88's would give you about 40 watts of what could be great sound. 

This all depends on how far back from the speakers you are going to be sitting and how big the room. 

@soix that amp looks pretty good. I just made an offer for it. Thanks for the pointer!
