Reply to Can someone suggest me an amp for these?

I am about to purchase these speakers, but I need an amp. I know very little about amps, but my buddy sais I will need an amp that can do 2 channels 500 watts @ 4 ohms. there are about a million and a half different amps on amazon and similar sites of varying brands and prices (quality?).

Could someone who knows a bit more about this suggest me an amp that will push these as far as their potential (getting everything i paid for)?

Thanks!
