Amp / receiver to drive Dynaudio Focus 220s

Just bought a pair of Dynaudio Focus 220 floor standing speakers. The 220s are rated at 4 ohms, and I hear they're not very efficient and are very power-hungry. I'd like some suggestions on what to use to drive them.

Thanks

Budget is tight - say 2k. Used is best, so I can get more for the money. I'm looking for suggestions for either a pre/pro and amp, or a high-powered AVR. I've read that Dyns should have at least 250 watts of clean power available.

I'm only running the 220s with a sub, so no center channel or surrounds at this point.

One other consideration is that because of the sub, I would like a sub out jack, and also an optical audio input if possible.

Thanks for your reply, Muzikat. I currently have a Marantz SR-7005 - and at 125 watts I thought it would be enough, but I don't think it's rated for 4 ohms.

I'll look at Naim and Anthem again, but I'm pretty sure from earlier searching that they don't have sub outs or optical ins.

Thanks
