amplifier for large advents?

I just bought a nice pair of original Large Advents. Which are the speakers I should have bought in 1973 when I purchased my very first stereo system. So any thoughts on a nice amp to drive them? Vintage or newer would both be ok. Not more then about $1000 used. I've been thinking about vintage Levinson, Audio Research, Krell and such but all a bit more than I want to spend. I haven't listened to a pair of Advents in decades so any current owners opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Mr_hosehead - thanks for the ideas. I had forgotten about Hafler. Those were pretty good in their day. I also forgot until you mentioned it that I have a pair of B&K mono amps in the attic. I'll try them first.

Xiekitchen - I was thinking the same thing. Have you replaced the connectors? What did you use? Does anyone do a crossover upgrade/rebuild service? Did you put the braces on the inside or outside?
