Amp for Pioneer FS52's


I’m trying to build a starter system for my nephew. So far, he has a Nakamichi RE-2 receiver rated at 55w @8ohms although it sounds more powerful than that. I’m thinking of sending him a pair of the Pioneer FS 52’s. Do you think the Nakamichi will provide enough power? I also have an old pair of Tannoy M3’s I could ship to him although I don’t have the boxes so shipping would be more of a hassle on my part. Any other suggestions for a pair of speakers in the $200-250 range to match with the Nakamichi? This would be used primarily for music. Thanks.

Yogiboy, thanks for the response. Have you heard the Pioneer's? I went to Best Buy today to audition them but they no longer sell them.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was intrigued by the Gallo’s. Are the Pioneer BS22’s the bookshelf version of the FS52’s?  I'm leaning towards floorstanders so he won't have to deal with getting stands.
