I am looking for a small amp to run two Sierra-1's in my living room. There's no entertainment center, TV, etc in this room so I need to be able to conceal the amp relatively easily.
Any suggestions?

a small integrated amp?
How loud would you be listening to stuff in this roof?
In your main listening room...are you using a receiver or pre/pro with a second zone?
I just helped a friend purchase a relatively inexpensive Denon receiver (1912), it has a second zone, and is controllable by an iPad. We wired up two outdoor speakers by her pool to the second zone, and she can control the whole thing with her iPad...happy camper.

It would mainly be background music. My Sierra-1s are being replaced by towers. So I want to use the Sierras to play music from a computer in our living room. I won't be doing any "reference" listening for sure.
I updated my post above.

Thanks for the reply. In my main listening room I have an Onkyo AVR with 3 zones. But I'm using them all. (home theater, backyard, kitchen). So I was looking for more of a standalone solution.
Originally I was just going to buy some multimedia speakers for this computer but since I now have a set of Sierra-1s sitting around, i figured I might a well look got an amp and use them.
It may not be what you're thinking.
The computer happens to be in the room, so that will just be the source of music. The speakers will probably go either on bookshelves or on top of the upright piano for background music.
Although it won't be long before some Horizons are hooked up to this "computer" (that's my studio)
Oh My!!
