With my modified New Advents, I've used two different (used) $300 amps.
Initially, I ran a NAD 326BEE. Nice performer with decent power and very good top end extension and natural sense of air. Needs good ventilation as it runs toasty. Offers tone controls, sub output and other features which may or may not be considered valuable.
Currently using a Crown XLS-1500 power amp. While the top is a touch sterile and lacking in air, the midrange is wonderful and with 300 watts/channel on tap, it can really crank the Advents. Also, it runs cool which is necessary for my situation where it is situated in a garage closet.
