Amps for Ohm Walsh 100S3

Will be receiving a set of Ohm Walsh 100S3 speakers. Will run short term with my old Mcintosh 5100 and SAE separates but then retire them. Looking for what I should look for to replace. Room is 14*14*9 listen to 70s rock/jazz, acoustic music, lots of female vocals espcially jazz (Krall, Holiday, Wilson, Krauss, Barber), guitar of every variety from fingerstyle to electric blues to classical. Would like suggestions for used and new. Start with integrateds but open to separates too. Cant hear much as I am in HI so I may just buy used off the net. Like tube sounds but not the hassle so tube-like SS is key. FIgure I need at least 50-75 watts...maybe more?

You're in for a rare treat! I also owne a pair of 100M3. Ohm's like current. Martykl is dead on on the power requirements. For less than 1K used, I'd be looking at Classe, Bryston, Music Fidelity, in the less than 150 W/chnl range. There's plenty to choose from.

Your speakers will take as much as 100 hours to fully break in. Enjoy!
