Your Cerwin Vega's are 102 db sensitive. This means you don't need much power to drive these. Double your power and you increase loudness by 3db. 1W=102db 2W=105db... 35-40 Watts would be plenty. If you are in the UK you might look at UK brands like Arcam, Roksan, Creek, NAD and Naim. These are considered mid-fi brands but probably can be had at a similar price to the Alesis RA500. Many products form these manufactures are not far behind referece quality and certainly ahead of most consumer and pro-audio gear.
If you have a budget let us know. Would you consider a integrated amp? Do you require rack mount? It looks like you are coming from the pro-audio world. I think you will find that most people on this board are purist that shy away from EQ's and processors. Less is more on the reproduction side. Lets say you have a lot of upside potential ;)
