Both are a touch warm sounding. I have not heard your speakers so I wont make a reccomendation.

Right now I am using a CJ CAV50 integrated at 45 WPC into 8 Ohms. This is plenty of power for them. Arcam, Outlaw and NAD will work fine, just a matter of personal choice. You might also want to consider Musical Fidelity and Bryston.
