Sensitivity is 93dB so I'd say an STA15 would be ample unless you listen a long way from the speakers. For 1 watt of power you'd get levels of about 80db sat 4 metres (12 feet) away. 80db is plenty. You won't want to play louder than that unless you are a bit deaf. Or nuts. And you still have the rest of the power output in reserve to handle peaks.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
