Looking for cheap, simple two channel amp

Hey all,

I have a Pioneer VSX-D811S Reciever and recently purchased some Acoustic Research wireless speakers. I have the speakers connected and working properly as the rear speakers in my surround sound setup, but since they use RCA jacks I have them connected to the recievers preamp ports. The problem is that in order to get much sound at all I have to crank the base stations volume all the way up and the volume control on each speaker nearly all the way up as well, which amplifies any interference the speakers get due to their wireless nature. When I have the speakers connected to other sources they sound great and I only have to turn the base stations volume up to about half. Ive been able to turn the front channels down 10dB and the rear channels up 10dB to help send more power to the rear speakers as opposed to the front but this only masks the problem.

My question is, does anyone know of a way I can relatively cheaply amplify the signal between the reciever and the base station? If the signal was amplified there I could turn the base station volume down to get better sound quality and the volume on the speakers themselves down to nullify the interference they pick up. Any help is appreciated.
