Does it matter what power amp i get?


Hi I am new to home recording. I have a pair of Alesis M1 Passive speakers and need to get an amplifier for them. I am wondering if (aside from the wattage) the type of the amplifier matters at all? I was looking at an alesis ra 150, its 200 dollars, but a friend told me any old amplifier will work, even a 100Watt one from radioshack (which I couldn't find anyway). But are there any recommendations?

Great topic. Aside from reading reviews and doing side by side comparisons, what should one look at on a spec sheet when trying to narrow down such a vast field? I mean - it is really difficult to even get a firsthand look at many of the different brands. So if you find an amp and research the specs on their website, what are the most important things to compare?
