What amp for Thiel cs3.5's?


I'm looking for a SS amp for my 3.5's. I Don't have a lot of money to spend. $500 is about it (I will buy used). Do i need something that's around 200W/ch into 8ohms (must double down into 4 ohms) or should I get something a little smaller of better quality? I would really appreciate any advice.
thanks

I know that I'm not able to give the Thiels what they really deserve by spending around $500 on a used amp. That's why i asked if i should buy quantity or quality. both is out of the question at this point in time. the plan is to buy something to get me by for now and definitely upgrade later. I guess the subject of my original post should have been "what amp to cripple my thiels the least" :)

would a CJ sonograph SA250 provide good, clean power? it is 125W into 8ohms/250 into 4ohms.

thanks for all the help!
unsound, do you know how to find out if a certain sa250 is able to double down into 4ohms?
