I recently purchased a pair of Haydn Grands at a ridiculous price, too - with out the stands, though. I'm using a 60w/ch, Threshold T-100 class A power amp, with more than excellent results, especially in the bass department. Haydn Grands likes lots of good clean power to sound its best. 60w/ch doesn't seem like much, but it's all about the size of the power supply in the amp. The power supply in the T-100 has 128K micro farads of filter capacitance, which is over kill. So, high current, rather than a high wattage amp with low current for these little 4ohm speakers would be preferred, IMO. Although, you can have both as well, as in Lapierre's case. I also have a T-200, class A amp with 100w/ch, but the T-100 does just as great a job.
