Congratulations on your speakers. I have a pair of 926s and love them very much. So far, I have liked McIntosh amps the best with them. The McIntosh highs are perfect IMO and the JM's tweeter lets it come through in full glory.
Following are used prices. I have seen McIntosh Mc6200 integrateds go in the $500 range but that is about the only kinda-recent model that goes that low. Very good quality for the bucks though. Also, check out Classe CAP-100 or CAP-80. With JMs being so efficient, you could get away with tubes too like the Antique Sound Labs 1003 or MGsi15. Jolida makes some nice little integrateds as well although I have not had any in my system. Good luck!
