Stereo5's suggestion is a good one. When I had my Contour 5.4's, my favorite amp was an Aragon 3002, @ 300 Wpc. At this time, for most of my listening, I use Class D Audio I built from kits, three amps, one for center, surround, and for the main stereo channels, I built one with an upgraded power supply and two modules bridged into mono, for 500 Wpc.
The sound is so much better than I ever expected it to be, a bit like my SET 300B amp on steroids. My experience with the Contour 5.4's showed me they like plenty of power, Class D can be a good, rather inexpensive way, to achieve power and finesse. My two cents, for what it's worth.
