If you don't already own them I would purchase the powered Mixcubes. I have them and they are quite nice.

Maybe a Hafler TA-1500 or P-3000? I got the P-3000 and it sounds good! Good luck..

You don't need to spend "high end" for these. I have the unpowered mixcubes and use an ART SLA-100 and it works great. Plenty of headroom.

Any amp is fine. Be sure to BREAK THEM IN, powered or passive, as they open up nicely in 70-100 hours.

We had them [actually only used one in mono] for a while [back to my Auratone 5C... for no other reason than I prefer the "simulated wood grain" finish]... used a McIntosh MC-2100 on it... worked great!!!

Amp

I use a Crown Com-Tech 210 on mine. Bought it on evilbay for about 125 bucks. Works great for the mixcubes.

You really don't want anything good to drive these guys. It kind of defeats their purpose.
