Agree with all, these are very nice speakers and will embarrass lesser electronics.
Try these budget solutions;
Preamplifier:
-Used Odyssey Tempest(2 for sale now on Audiogon)
-Used NAD C162
Amplification:
-Used Odyssey Stratos
-New Emotiva XPA-2
-New or used NAD C272
or Integrated Amplifier:
-Used Xindak XA6950 US Model (for sale now on Audiogon)
-Used Naim Nait 5 (not sure this will actually drive these speakers, although I have not seen one fail to drive any speakers yet to at least pleasant listening levels)
-New Shanling A300 (on ebay)
-Used Primaluna ProLogue 2 - not so many watts but good power supply and hassle-free tube listening.
