Budget integrated ideas: budget $650
If you liked the Arcam with the VonS's,why not get another one?Just a thought. 
SET amp suggestions 1000$ or Integrated 2500$
If you're just worried about the speakers,as your second sentence implies, there's nothing wrong with using high efficiency models with your Mac.Just show some restraint with the volume knob.Good luck and enjoy the music.
