Power for Focal Aria 936


Hi all,
Just ordered a pair of Focal Aria 936s. Focal reports a sensitivity of 92dB, but a minimum impedance of 2.8 ohms is reported:

So how much power do I really need to optimize these speakers (large room)?
Current budget for power is only $1K, either integrated or pre + power. I'm certainly open to something 2-4 years old used.

Thanks for any suggestions/thoughts.

do you know the mods for your FW F5 ?

Whom performed the mods?

Happy Listening!

Oh... I know the guy who modified it well. It was the same guy who built it; me. Instead of 24V rails it's got 32V. It's also biased at 1.42 amp instead of the usual 1.3. I also deleted the current limiting BJT's. I'm very happy with it. 
Thanks for all the comments. After a lot of homework, I opted to push the price range a bit (ahh, don't we always?), and went for a slightly used Hegel H160. Can't wait for it to arrive!
