Amp for LS 3/5a Falcon Gold Badge


I just purchased a pair of Falcon Gold Badge LS 3/5a's which I will receive in about a week.  My question is what amp to use the the LS35A 's?  I currently have a Boulder 866 which is proably a huge overkill with its power.  Tube or SS?  Watts needed to properly power these speakers?  I was thinking a Enleum 23R  or Pass Int 25 should work but I am not sure.   Any feedback on what amps have worked outstanding with your LS 3/5a's would be aporeciated.  I would like to keep it simple and stay with a nice integrated.

I have owned the Falcon Q7. It has the same drivers and xover as the LS3/5a. I have owned many LS3/5a type speakers. Any 50 watt amp is sufficient. The 15 ohm Falcons are a perfect fit with a tube amp. Since you want an integrated amp this Audio Research would fit the bill!
