Depends on how much you want to (or can) spend, Kops.
Here are some amps I've tried that have worked well with the Minis (in order of ascending price from under $2k to above $75k): Parasound Halo A21, Pass Labs X350.5, Edge 12.1, Audio Research Reference 210, Audio Research Reference 610T, MBL 9011. Everyone seems to agree, including Alon Wolf of Magico, that the 610T is the magical combo with the Mini (but at $40k, it ought to be).
Some of the folks on line have also used (or heard) NuForce and Goldmund amps with the Minis. From past experience I would guess that Spectral amps and Class AB Rowland amps would also make swell music with the Minis. (Alon has tried the Spectral gear and I believe Jeff Rowland uses the Minis as a reference.)
Though I haven't tried them with the Minis myself, Alon has also used Convergent Audio Technology amps with his speakers at CES.
