What amp for computer speakers

[epuffin]

I have some Paradigm atom monitors and I want to use them as computer speakers, but I'm wondering what amp I should get to use them with. I want a pretty small amp as its only for the two speakers, I dont really want a subwoofer, but the amp has to have decent power and quality.

Well I would be inclined to suggest:

With the caveats that

1) it`s not ``technically`` 4 ohm stable. If the atoms have any notable reactance or impedance dips, fidelity ``may`` be compromised once volume rises. Still, 30wpc is quite a good amount for true near field. the chip amp used is also rated at a clean 70 wpc into 4 ohms but that of course depends on capacitance and power supply selection so I don`t know where the dayton fits in. I think you`ll be fine with your particular speakers. I just won`t try something that gets into 2-3 ohm territory.
2) it`s class T, which AFAIK can often have frequency response which is manipulated by load presented.

The TEAC Reference amps would be my other choice and probably a safer bet.

+1 on Grant's recommendation. Here's a similar option:
