Amp for Mirage M1 Si's??


Picked up a pair of M1's and am wondering what might
be the best amp for around $500-$1000 or so.
They are very power hungry it seems. I have a 200 W/PC
integrated that by itself is on the warmer side of nuetral
and these M1's seem to still be a little under powered (83db)
and on the darker laid back side. What would give these
some sparkle & kick?
I like the overall potential of these to pursue the
right amp.
Room is 20x20x12

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

--Had the 3si years ago and ran them with a Moscode 600. If one were to look into this amp; get a moded/rebuilt one and it should be still within your price range.
Brand new--they came w/spikes---Don't expect much in bass definition w/o spikes.--Get U some.
As I remember from the manual their setup instructions were "spot-on"--Something like 3 to 3 and 1/2 feet back and sides for unbelievable imaging.--Of course that was for the 3si's---I would also at least try the short wall. My short wall is wider than your 12;wide. Mine is 14.6 wide and that worked well.---(That rear tweet loves proper reflection.)
