Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W

So far I am listening Focals 807W with the NAD C356, 80W x 2.
I upgraded Pre/Amp jumpers with the Cardas Golden jumpers
and it sounds great but there is one problem, power.
My speakers are 92.5 Db so i can not turn the volume up.
I always keep on 0.5 for quiet listening. Once I approach
Volume 1, it's already too loud. I was thinking to try
50W x 2 Integrated amplifier. Is the Simaudio Neo 250i good
match for the Focals. I listened Focals with the Sim. 600i
and the sound was that good that I couldn't believe that
Focals can sound that good, but the price is out of my budget.
Thank you in advance.

Too loud is too general, the Focal's are very easy to drive.
The Sim 600i is way beyond and overkill for this level of speaker. If you look for a used Bryston B-100 or a MF M6i,
you will have excellent results. I have not heard the Neo, line but suspect it will also be a winner.
