And heard the AN rig. Plus I've heard An gear in a number of settings from home to storefronts including at True Sound who brought the rig to CAS7. Most importantly to me forming my opinion is that I owned the ANE Spe HE for a number of years and used it in my all AN system at home. Granted, the ANE isn't the ANJ, but they use the same drivers so I think there is a lot of similarity.
Anyway, I think both RGA and Triode are right. As Triode infers there must be plenty of distortion to reach, say, 100dB with an amp that puts out single digits cleanly into low 90's dB speakers. But, as I found at home, the speakers play at near insane levels without noticeable distortion on puny amps. I don't know why for sure, but getting to the OP's question, I suggest an AN amp for AN speakers.
Used conquest at 8watts with single 300b per channel should make you quite happy. Distortion free? No way. But happy.
As Triode puts it, there is a decided benefit from going to much higher sensitivity with tiny amps. That's why I got pulled into Altecs. But that doesn't change the fact that the AN speakers are satisfying with AN amps beyond what some might expect.
Best,
Doug
