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 would go for a Tandberg 3026A 0r 3006A. Both of these amps are solid state but have a reputation for sounding "Tube like" as far as solid state equipment goes. Tandberg's have a reputation for being quality built. Both of those amps have 150 watts per side and are conservatively rated at that. I bought a pair of Tandberg 3009A monoblocks from a guy who had a set of Thiel's, he said the combination sounded great.

Cheers,
