My two cents and ears, for budget choices:
First choices:
Triangle Zetas for 200 on Amazon...detailed, a bit forward, musical...I have these. Someone once stated they sounded similar too his Spendors.Cambridge SX50 (200) or Minx XL (300) more laid back, "soothing" in the words of one reviewer.
Second choices:Others Infinity R152 (200), Dali Spektor 2 (now over 300). R152 sounds similar to Kef Q100s and I liked them better, a bit more detailed than Zetas but more clinical IMO.
All should be easy for any amp from a cheaper class d, ab, etc to more expensive options which bring out the best in them.
Would not recommend Paradigm Atoms kind of dull and awful for in room stereo, Ascend (too homogenized, everything sounds same), Polk or Klipsch (cheaper models are banchees).
If size doesn’t matter and used OK...there’s a diversity from which to choose.
