Elac b5.2 amplifier

[chojnacki987]

Hello. Recently I bought elac's for 140$ and now I am searching for a matching amplifier. I would prefer used or vintage one. My budget is about 250$. I was looking at Marantz PM5005 or PM6003, Technics SU-Z2, Rotel RA 970BX or RA 413, ITT 8033, Yamaha R-S500, NAD c350 or c326bee, Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10 V2 or Topaz AM10, Denon PMA 980R or PMA 860 or PMA 710AE but I have no idea if any of those will sound good with elac's. Can someone give me some recommendations on any of those or something different that will sound good at this price point?

Unfortunately the amplifier, if it is good enough to drive those speakers, really will not make that much of a difference. The source quality is everything you need to.worry about.
Just buy the newest amplifier you can afford.

I have read that amplifier makes a difference, that those speakers start to sing with at least about 75W per channel amp. I'm interested in this Marantz PM6003 but it has only something about 45W per channel and I don't know if it will be enough to make them sound good or something with more power would make them sound better. And about newer amplifiers in this budget I could buy for example Yamaha a-s201 or some class D amp like aiyima T9 or topping DA-9, would it be better then this Marantz? I don't think so but I may be wrong.
