Unsound
The point of my comment, and I apologize for not saying this earlier, is that one should be more concerned about sound quality and system synergy. Obviously the number of watts required is a function of room size and acoustics as well as the type of music and sound level required.
Another amp that did a pretty nice job with my Thiel 3.6's was a B&K st140 I believe was the model number. A friend let me borrow his until my new amp came in and this should fit well within your budget.
