You want fanless and enough wattage so you never accidentally clip it, and pop the tweeters. How much wattage?

I believe Nubus means to ask what wattage the NS10s are rated for. It should say on the back somewhere.

You shouldn't need to spend a bunch on the NS10 amp.

Something like an Alesis RA150 should be fine. Only 45 watts per channel, but that should be OK.

I tend to agree with you Whoopysnorp. I wouldn't invest too much in the NS10 setup unless you have bags of money or gold bars lying around.

The studio where I studied sound used one of the samson servo 300's. Worked fine. NS10's are supposed to sound bad anyways.
