First, congratulations on your new speakers!
These old, high-efficiency Altecs can be really good, and time will tell, ultimately, if they are right for you--your listening habits, room, associated components and so on. And don't be dismayed by comments such as that by one wag who suggested you sell them and buy "good" speakers.
If you are handy with a soldering iron and would like to buy kits, some of the Bottlehead offerings suggested already would likely be good choices. If you stay with your low budget, nothing wrong with that by the way, you might look online for a Dynaco tube-based integrated amp or separates, a PAS 2 or 3 preamp and an ST-70 power amp.
I would strongly reinforce those who suggested that tube electronics are the way to go.
Go slowly. When you get your speakers up and running, do not change anything for at least two-three weeks' worth of careful listening. In my experience, anything new (any changed components) will have some interesting or exciting attributes just because what you're hearing sounds different. It may take awhile for those differences to settle down and for you to be able, objectively to determine what you're hearing. I often take a year to make such determinations with lots of switching back and forth between components to verify my preferences.
Relax and enjoy your music.
