Which amp for Tannoy Dorset T185?

[audio2]

To Mr Peabody & jrhymeammo:

Actually my budget is quite modest ($250.00).
I can eventually invest some more money (max $500) if in that price range falls a qualitative product (also second hand is fine) that will do for my need.

Out of curiosity I've been searching for used Jolida amps an found the following:
- Jolida JD 1501 (100 watt hybrid) year 2009 for $520.00

With regards to NAD or Cambridge Audio, are there specific models I can look for? How many Watt are actually sufficient?

I couldn't find any result on internet about t185's impedance curve, and I'm not that technical to measure it on my own...
You guys are introducing me into a new world and a new technical language (OTL tube amps?). I find this very interesting and makes my quest for an amp extra exciting.

Thank you for your time and knowledge.



PS:
In the meanwhile I've found an online ads for a used NAD C352 (80 watt per channel).
What do you think about it?
Anyway I would appreciate to hear advices on my previous questions.

Output Transformless Tube amplifiers( OTL) are an interesting choice, however I doubt you will find any of reasonable quality at your price point and IMO most of them require a bit more maintenance than usual

Not familiar with the NADs, is the 352 rated @ 4ohms, 80W is plenty but can the amplifier keep its poise when asked to drive a difficult load? Another decent amplifer brand is Rotel, and most models are rated for 4ohm operation and, there are many used ones floating around at your price point.
