I used a Linar 250 amp with my 5.3s with great success, shortly after breaking them in which takes,, forever I got a pair of 804 Nautilus B&W and let the 5.3s sit, after going back to them before i sold them, they really sounded fantastic with deep tight bass and large soundstage. If you have not heard of this amp do yourself a favor and research it, everyone i have ever seen that has one truly loves it, including the guy that i got it from who wishes he had it back ;-)
