i see. any suggestion on what stereo amp can drive the 9.3's? hopefully not with a heavy price tag, it's getting really hard to have budget approved by the C.O.
In a small room, most amps delivering 30 to 50W should be enough for typical listening levels (no large-scale orchestral works at elevated volumes). Of course, more doesn't hurt (and less isn't necessarily bad, depending on your needs). The 9.3 is a fairly benign load, so the amp doesn't have to be very high-current.
Entry level integrated amps like the Marantz PM5003/PM5004, NAD C315BEE/C316BEE, CA 340A/350A, Rotel RA-04/RA-04SE or Rega Brio/Brio2/Brio3 won't sweat driving these speakers. Reasonably-powerful budget t-amps like the Dayton DTA-100a can drive them as well. You just have to find the right sound for you.
