Amps for Dynaudio Audience 72?


I'm looking for recommendations for powering my Dynaudio Audience 72 floor-standing speakers (4 ohm). I'm open to an integrated amp or separates, but I've got a turntable so built-in phono is desirable so I don't have to buy more pieces.

Are there specific amps that are known to match well with Dynaudio?
Minimum watts?

Room size: 13 x 16 x 8 (speakers are placed along the 16' wall)
Budget: $1200 total
Music: wide range (Beethoven, Bach, Beefheart, Doc Watson, Maddy Prior, Brian Eno)

I drive my Dyn Audience 52's with a Musical Fidelity X-150 integrated. It's great.

Even better, in another room I drive my Dynaudio Contour T2.5's with a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated. Truly awesome.

Both MF integrateds have built-in phono stages, as you seek. I have a Rega P3 hooked up to the A5 and the sound is very nice. There is no warp-filter however, in either the X-150's or A5's phono stage. Not a huge problem on clean vinyl, but thought I'd mention it.
