For your purpose the 250s would be the best choice to remain all ARC, beyond that there are a plethora of suitable amps. Avoid under powering your speakers as a general rule. You really should audition any amp in your system before writing a check.

Those 601s are beautiful and I am sure they sound as nice as they look.
