Looking for amplifier advice for jamo 707i

Dear everyone, could I please ask for your advice about what amplifier could I buy if my budget is sadly restrained to 300 dollars?

My speakers are rated at 200 watts, 4 ohms impendance which I know it means that they demand high current from the amp and the sensitivity is 89 dB. I would use them in a 40 squaremeter room from a 3 meter distance, the room is square shaped.

I spent so much time researching and trying to self educate but I realized I need advice from experts.

I am considering a cambridge audio SR 10 receiver which has 85 watts per channel to 8ohms and max power consumption of 500W.

Could you please help me find out what amp could be best and what parameters are most important when one wants an amp which handles high current speakers well? I wish for definition rather than higher max volumes.

Thank you in advance for your time and advice! Wish you all a great day!

David

The speakers are 4 ohm (they go lower than that) make shure the amp can handle 4 ohm or else the amp would get hot very fast or blow the fuse because the load is to high for the amp when playing loud.

I think that the Sony STRDH130 receiver might be your best bet.

It should handle those speakers OK.

It is only $149.

Thank you very much for your advice! I checked out the Sony, and im also looking at a Parasound HCA 800 II used because there is a good deal on it for 170 bucks. Maybe I can refurbish it and it would serve more than good. It seems to have better current capacity.
