Take it to the limit: No tangible power amp at all!
From an engineering standpoint the power-amp and speaker are really a logical subsystem anyway so it's a good opportunity to optimize cost and performance.

The new powered Paradigm speakers are nice. And they have 2x50 PER speaker. Those, and the DACMagic+ might be the basis of a terrific dorm system or an all digitial system for the home.
I have 3 of 4 inputs 'occupied' on mine:
Too much is never enough
I've become interested in near-field listening through the back door. My study amplifier died a couple of years ago so I dug out some horrible sounding powered speakers that came with a computer to use while the part was on order. Oddly enough I guess they "broke in" or I "broke down" and I still haven't fixed the amplifier despite having the new part. Although they don't sound as good as my Celestion 3's, I'm enjoying them and at this point I am not at all sure I want to go back. Maybe better near-field speakers would be a good bet.
I was pleased with the posts on them yesterday, apparently I'm not the only one this is happening to!

Umm, I can't seem to find them on their website.
What's the model #?
Thanks, Rick

If you mean the powered Atoms....see provided link:
At 500$ / pair, add in a DACMagic+ with a good source(s) and there 'ya go. Insta-system.
You could bring the whole thing in for 1500$ and be 'forward' looking, to boot.
Too much is never enough
Ok...
They are in the running for worst website in the universe, thanks to both of you guys for the links.
