Matching amps for martinlogan prodigy


Iam building a system with the martinlogan prodigy as front speakers. I find it increasingly difficult to find a moderately price amp to drive these current hungy speakers.I have considered the Rotel 1090 pseudo balance at 380 watt into 8 ohms and nearly double the wattage at 4 ohms. Any suggestion about moderately price amps and matching speaker cable will be much appreciated. Thanks guys...

I am using a McIntosh MC-352 (350 at 8 ohms), with Adcom GPF-750, Denon DVD-5000 and Nordost Blue Heaven II all around. It's just fine and I drive the Prodigy to the limits (actually I haven't found the limit yet). The power guard on the Mac hasn't come on yet (you can't clip the Mac). Also the MC-352 has terminals specific to the load 8/4/2. So the Mac will even drive a 2 ohm load to where ever it will take it (uses something called Autoformers to match the Amp output stages and speaker loads of 2, 4 and 8 ohms).
