Need a new amp for some RE re components! Help!

Alright guys, it's been a while since I've visited this forum. I've gotten into other things lately and sorta shy'd away from car audio for a couple months.Anyways, I finally got around to making some fiberglass kickpods for my Resonant Engineering Re components, (after sitting around for like 3 months), and have installed everything and tested it out. I still need to jam some poly fill in and fine tune the tweeter positioning with the swivel mounts a little, but I must say it sounded great. One problem. I bought an Xtant 202m for the comps, because I was told they would run fine with 50 wrms, but I'm now thinking it's not gonna be enough after listening to them. First I need some opinions, I was gonna try to find something that put out 75 wmrs x 2 @ 4 ohms, but choices are a little limited. It's much easier to find something that puts out 100 x 2 @ 4 ohms. Just wondered if you guys thought 100 watts would be fine for the re's. I'm sure they can take more than they're rated for, but who knows. After that, I'm gonna need some suggestions for amps. Only higher quality amps, maybe something oldschool, like a PPI Art or something. I already have an Orion G4 so an Art should be comparable to that. Mabe another G4? Arc Audio or Zapco? Decisions decisions.
