Amp pairing for Sierra 2 bookshelves and Vtf-1 Mk2
My advice would be to try and listen before making a purchase. Although I own a class d amp and feel it is a tremendous value it may not be your cup of tea.

Also where in the thread were mini box speakers recommended? I recall active monitors being suggested but I must have missed the mini suggestion.
