used amp or amps for B&W 801's in home theater

If i get these used 801's what used amp would be the "best bang for my buck?" i will be using my pioneer elite 92txh for the pre. prices for the used amps would be perfect. i am trying to see what the total cost for the 801's and amps would be. thank you for your expertise.

"For any 801, you'll be better served with solid state."

Not totally true. The 801F sounded amazing with an Audio Research D-79B.

"Probably the more power, the better."

Again not totally true. The best I have heard 801s was with 100 watt Class A monos in a very large room.
