the question is what where you powering them with when you decided they sounded better than the LS50?
stick to a decent stereo integrated and forget AV amps.I suppose one of the reasons they sounded worse in my bedroom is that I'm using my brothers old Yamaha RX396 receiver to power them, I do have a musical fidelity XA-1 in my living room/kitchen and they sound great together. I found a Pioneer Elite VSX-43TX locally for $100, and it seems to get good reviews.
