I have a pair and they are awesome for the price.  I used with an Onkyo A-9555 Integrated
Monitor Audio has some very nice entry level stuff in that price range. I’ve heard their line and am very impressed with what you get for the dollar. the bronze 1 and 2’s are surprisingly musical and a sweet spot in the lower range. silvers if you can stretch but the bronze are surprisingly good for the money.

the bronze 2's are 90db and nominal imp 8 ohms, probably a good fit for your amp.
