Best Intergrated Amp for JMR Twin Sigs under $500?


Any suggestions for a used integrated amp that will match well with JM Reynaud Twin Signature speakers (91dB/1W1m,4 ohms)?

I feel like maybe my current setup is not realizing their full potential.

Ive tried (in order of preference):
1. Cyrus 2 integrated
2. ASL Wave 8s
3. B&K ST-140

Power amps were used with preamp section of Advent 300 or NAD 3020.

Budget is $500, room is small, listen at low to mid volume.

Thanks.

Thanks. I could stretch to $1k. I've heard good things about the brands you mention.

I wonder if the Miniwatt N3 that everyone is raving about would work?

I've also read good things about Cayin and Vista Audio.
Thanks for all the replies.

I have to agree about the Wave 8s, they don't live up to all the hype (some years ago). But I haven't upgraded the output caps to Auricaps as many suggested, maybe that makes a big difference.
I ended up getting a Musical Paradise MP-301 for $200 plus shipping and it sounds wonderful with the Twins.
