RE: Suitable Amplifier for my ProAc Studio 150 speakers?

I don't have ProAc Studio 150 speakers but Spendor S8e speakers that are also a nominal 8 ohm impedance load. I am using these speakers in my family room using a MacBook Air with M2 that outputs to a USB DAC that provides an input to a Fosi ZA3 amplifier. The sound quality (imaging, detail, dynamics) is outstanding, especially considering the cost of the amplifier. I have used various external DACs with the Air (Topping, Oppo, Fosi) to stream Qubuz and ripped digital files. I would recommend this low-cost amplifier option.

For comparison I have previously used the following amplifiers with these speakers and do not make this recommendation lightly-the Fosi is satisfying at an incredible budget level:

Cary 300 SEI
Rogue Chronus Magnum Integrated
YBA Integrated DT Alpha
Primare i30.
