Auzen X-Fi Prelude / JBL L830, What Amp?

[nfm]

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of getting nice 2x bookshelf speakers, JBL L830 look perfect, especially the frequencies (48Hz - 40kHz). If there's anything else good for $300 let me know, Klipsch are nice but cost too much. I have an Auzen X-Fi Prelude sound card with OPA2227P / OPA637B and Black Gate NX capacitors soldered in parallel to power filetring caps for better sound. I was looking at Yamaha receivers, HTR-6140, but I only need stereo amp and don't need fancy features since all of the work will be coming from my sound card through analog RCA connection and all I need is to power the speakers. What amp could power these JBL L830 loudspeakers?
Thanks.

As far as a stereo receiver on the cheap, I'd throw the Insignia NS-R2000 out for consideration. It'll go for about $115 or so at any Best Buy. I have this unit hooked to my computer powering a pair of Polk Audio TSi100's and I couldn't be happier. I get plenty of power, a very low noise floor, and it even has a phono input if that is your thing. This unit is actually a rebadged Sherwood receiver and in my opinion performs very well for the price. If you have more questions about this receiver, Seth=L owns one as well and he knows more about it than me so just ask away. Hope this helps.

Great info, thank you.
Now I understand, they call them "Stereo Receivers" and I was googling for "Stereo Amplifiers" and only found amps by AudioSource. That's really good price, we can raise the bar to $200 if there are any units that are worth that . I need to do some reading now .
Thanks.
