BM5's and 6's even sound good with a standard hifi amp, 25-30 w RMS per side. Just better with more juice. I know many people who have run these in the short term, again just drive VERY carefully -even with a small amp such as the above, push to the max of what it can handle with hot programme and it's likely the tweeters will start smokin'  Most hifi amps don't have an auto shoutoff to prevent major overloads.  Just to explain my thinking in the advice, Bm5's are now only £50 over Hamish's budget. He'd have to go alot further in price to get something comprable, Quested (nice!) Genelec, K roks. They can be made to perform like something twice the recommended price by adding fat amp later on, but why not start out with a hifi amp. I remember Alesis monitors being quite friendly as well, I had some on loan for a week or so. Very sweet but much more like a nice hifi! I think these would be in the price bracket.
