[Looking For Advice] Amp pairing B&W 706 S3's

[Nestatjuh]

Recently acquired the B&W 706 S3's. Currently have a Pioneer A10 (50w per channel) but I am looking to upgrade and I am kinda lost on the decisions here.
I was looking at some second hand Marantz (because I like the look to be honest) and NAD (because this was a brand the guy at the hi-fi shop I bought it at recommended) amps,
for around 3-600 euro but again I am not sure. Looking to pair it with mainly a turntable. Any notes, tips or knowledge is welcome.

I did a little research. Here's the recommended amplifier brands:
Rotel
Marantz
NAD
Cambridge Audio
Arcam

With your budget I would consider the Mission 778X.
It's got your required phono input and just about every other input you might need in the future.

Don't worry about the quoted spec being 5w below your amp - chances are it might even appear to sound louder.
Best to try any potential amp in your room, with your speakers if you can arrange that.

Marantz Pm7200 should give them a little push. As would older rotels.

I'd second that, particularly the Rotels.

Any Rotel models that I should keep an eye out for?

Most are very good, depends on what you can find for your budget locally
The last I owned was the RA-1062 and this was excellent.
My brother is still using it.
