You really don't need a amp for those. If you are on a budget I think you should save your money.

Amps do give a somewhat different signature, aside from their main function which is to amplify analog signals. Problem is, the differences are mostly minuscule to astronomical levels. In other words, not every people's ears can hear the differences. Because of that, most of amps purchase would be redundant, unless of course it's needed (i.e. not loud enough).

 

Try if you can hear the differences: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/271346-midweek-crisis-different-amps-different-sounds/
