Budget amp suggestions for Totem Model 1?

I currently have the model 1's driven by an old 70's Sherwood s8900a SS amp. Don't have the bucks now for Plinius, etc. Anybody have any budget solutions for a matching amp? I'd like something ideally good for low volume listening, that's where the Sherwood loses it. And something not to aggressive, that's a problem too.
The room is small, 11 X 11. Listen to jazz and classical mainly.

Thanks for an help, Vince

I think an Audio Refinement Complete would match your requirements quite well and they're reasonably easy to find used in the $500 range. I'm extremely happy with mine.

There are lots of reviews online:
