I think it may be your best choice for a budget amp on the JBLs. Another nice sounding option would be a tube amp, but that would be in another price level and perhaps not really desirable in terms of maintenance for its intended use. It also lends itself to a somewhat round bass sound, which you don't seem to be too fond of either. I think the bottom line here is that the JBL speakers are going to be rather dry with a lot of gear and without compression (ala Onkyo) and you can't be but so picky at that price point. Another very fine sounding smaller amp is the Rega Brio, but that might be harder to find unless you live in a decent size city. You would also lose the remote funtions and headphone capability if that is an issue.
