Gunbunny,
You have chosen a speaker that is very versitile relative to the amps you can use. In a moderate size room you should be able to drive them with anything from a higher powered single ended amp such as the Antique Sound Labs 845 based mono amps (22watts/ch) to a high powered transistor amp such as the Marsh A400s and get excellent sonic results. I have tried numerous amps on my 5.3's....my favorites being a Croft 30w/channel push pull amp, the aforementioned Antique Sound Lab and the Marsh. My favorite preamp for this speaker is the Bat Vk3i which is a really nice match with the balanced inputs of the Marsh. The best speaker cable I have used for this speaker is the Monster Sigma 2000's. Make sure you set the speakers up with a lot of space behind and alongside them and you will be rewarded with a very wide and open soundstage with a very easy on the ears tonal balance. Good luck and I hope you get much enjoyment out of this outstanding speaker.
