Maybe a nice old Marantz receiver from the 1970s? Great build quality, warm sound, and under $200 used for the less desirable models with 15 or 20 wpc. The Klipsch Chorus 2 wasn't a really detail freak's speaker, so you don't really need an ultra hi-res amp to enjoy it.
In fact, how about a vintage Marantz 2215 or 2230 or something like that paired with a modern CD5003 for $349? For under $550 all in, that would probably make a very nice and highly listenable combo with the added bonus of having a very nice FM tuner.
