Speaker Amp Suggestions

[bperboy]

I'm getting a pair of these speakers here. I've got a really old reciever that I can use temporarily with them, but I'd like to build a dedicated speaker amp. What is a good design, hopefully under $200 that I can do? Would a Bottlehead Sex have enough power to drive these? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

at 86 db your going to be really pushed to get any volume out of them with the bottle heads 2 watts.
might want to look into SS.

Do you have any suggestions then? I figured the bottlehead wouldn't be powerful enough. Something from chipamp.com? If so, which one?

Have you checked out the usual suspects - GainClone and T-Amp?

Tripath amps have been widely hyped about, www.41hz.com sells kits.

I've got an old Realistic STA-870 Receiever, and I was wondering if they will drive my new speakers at least decently well, until I can build a new amp. This website has a link to the specifications.
