DELETED_5350

Something with a **** load of power and current delivery is what you will want and amps that do both well and are of reasonable quality are far from £200.

There is a very good reason why PMC distribute and sell Bryston amps in the UK ;)

Are you after an integrated amp or just a straight power amp?
 
Was going to be my suggestion, an old Arcam or NAD off the 'bay to tide you over until you can get something a bit more up market :)

I demoed big PMC's and the TB2i stand mounts quite a lot and everywhere I went they never sounded good until the various dealers had put some serious power onto them and also bi-amping helped a lot.
 
Seems like a waste to spend £200 squid on an amp just to tide you over till you get a better one.

I would get an ex demo Nait 5i with your new budget, make sure to get a demo first though as if your idea of a good sounding amp is like your forum name it might not be your cup of tea. Make sure its the italic i as its suppposed to be even better than the sligtly old non italic one. Having just said that here is nothing wrong with the non italic one, I used to have one and I loved it. :D

I think you will be doing your speakers an injustice if you went with a budget amp and id bet you wouldn't be happy with the outcome either.
 
There is a Bel Canto S300 power amp on eBay, very powerful little class d thing, I know a few people with the REF1000's and they can drive just about any dificult speaker with ease.

Fairly sure the little S300 would make light work of your PMCs and blow an entry level naim integrated out of the water - I've heard naim on PMC and personally I'd say the two don't work.
 
For £600 quid? I'd go with a second hand musical fidelity A3 amps (or one of the variations). Should provide around 120watts high quality class AB amplification. They tend to crop up on ebay every now and again. Failing that an exdem primare might be within reach.
