which amp?

hi all, i've had a quick scan through threads already made and havent found any threads similar so i'll ask.
i've been looking around for a pair of speakers and an amplifier for my bedroom.
i think i've settled on some MS aviano 1's for speakers but stuck on the amp i have a budget of around £100 for the amp. i've been looking at cambridge audio but open to ideas if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

Re: which amp?

For 100 pounds you're obviously going to get far better value if you go down the second hand route.

I would say that this Marantz PM44SE would go quite well with MS speakers.

Never had any experience with TEAC so can't comment on them.

Arcam would be good - although you may struggle to get one for 100 pounds?
