Does it matter what power amp i get?

Hi I am new to home recording. I have a pair of Alesis M1 Passive speakers and need to get an amplifier for them. I am wondering if (aside from the wattage) the type of the amplifier matters at all? I was looking at an alesis ra 150, its 200 dollars, but a friend told me any old amplifier will work, even a 100Watt one from radioshack (which I couldn't find anyway). But are there any recommendations?

your alesis speakers are a nice sounding little speaker,i owned them for a while & i liked them too.

stay away from the alesis ra-150,its a decent sounding little amp but it lacks balls,you would be alot better off getting an alesis ra-500 for around $350.00 new.

i owned 2 ra-500's & they are a super nice sounding amp & will match perfectly with your m1's.

are you planning on using a mixer for the preamp?
