I have Mission Audio BX1 speakers.
Specs:
70W RMS
88db sensitivity 1W@1m
8 ohms
amp recommendation 15-70W
5.5" bass driver/1" tweeter
Now I have long driven these with a Lepy LP-2020A amp, and I am happy with the sound, providing I use my Soundblaster soundcard, not the built-in motherboard sound, which is terrible.
Anyway, now I have taken my speakers to Indonesia, but left the amp behind. Market for Hifi is poor, second-hand equipment is hard to find, or designed for loud volume, not listening pleasure.
I can order very easily from AliExpress (or similar). We have a $75 + shipping customs limit, so anything under that price would be ok.
I would like to be able to achieve max volume on occasion, because sometimes there is other loud music nearby.... So I think I need something that will make out my speakers.
And of course the bluetooth as before I had it connected to a desktop PC, but now it is going to be a laptop or phone, so an rca cable would not be a good choice for me.

I would take a look at the large variety of TPA3116 and TPA3118 based board available on the internet. You can even get them as a plate amp for around 30 dollars so you can turn your bookshelf speakers into active speakers.
How about this?

Cheap BT amps use audio signal from the Bluetooth module itself, signal quality is not very good. It is better to use a Bluetooth receiver that has a dedicated DAC chip inside.

Then add an amp.
Total cost will be a bit higher though.
