What amp/reciever for JM Labs 906?

Recientley I bought and fell in love with a set of JM Labs 906's. I first listened to them through a Macintosh amp that was 25k and wow did they ever sound amazing. Then I listened to them through an amp at the dealers that is much like mine a Sony ES and the speakers still sound great but I want something that will make them sound even better. Now I want to keep the price under 500 bucks if thats possible. So do yall have any suggestions for an amp or reciever for these speakers?

Accoddude;
I too had the 906's and used them with an Onkyo receiver.
They were good. I then upgraded to Rotel seperates and the difference was amazing. It was like taking a blanket off of my speakers. I then upgraded to the 926's and noticed the sound to be fuller and more pronounced. Then a CD player upgrade again was a noticable improvement. What I am eluding to here is that the JM Labs respond to improvements
quite well.
I have also heard the 906's with Classe CAP 101 & 151,
MF308, NAD, Roksan and Audio Refinement integrateds. All
were so close it would be quite hard to tell the difference.
None were noticably better or worse that my Rotel seperates
which cost more. The seperates do give more flexibility at the cost of more real estate and expense.
Good Luck and enjoy the hunt.
