Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy?

I need some input here please. I want to upgrade my Bel Canto 200.2 Evo amps. They are great amps but with the system I have right now: Audiomeca Mephisto II cdp, Wytech tube pre-amp and the ML Prodigy, they seem to have become the weak link.
I am a fan of Atmasphere amps, but since my speakers are low impedance 4 Ohm, this is not the amp to go for. (If I had the funds I would upgrade to the top Soundlab electrostats, which are 8 Ohm. They would be a perfect match for the Atmasphere amps. Well, maybe one day)
But back to my original question: I would love some monoblocks with my power hungry ML Prodigy, so one amp I looked at is the Electrocompaniet Nemo. The Mark Levinson 33 is a nice amps also, but above my budget.
Any other amp ideas to get the most out of my speakers?

I just picked up the Prodigy's (1-8-02).....so they are still breakin' in.... The amp I'm using is Pass Labs X350.

My dealer was demo'ing the Prodigy's with the smaller Pass Labs X150.....and this system sound devine: detailed, dynamic and a soundstage that extended well beyond the walls of the listening room.

ML states that the Prodigy's do indeed take some time (100hrs) to reach optimal sound quality......can't wait to get there... :)

Here's some pics of My System

thanks....no, I havent yet pulled the Prodigy's out further into the room, yet.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pic....but the back of the woofer module is about 2 ft from the back wall....and the stat panel is about 4 ft from the back wall.

The Prodigy's are fairly deep due to the 'funky' woofer module.....they replaced Quest z's , which were much thinner in profile....

I haven't yet installed the 'spike' feet also.....waiting for the speakers to reach full bloom b4 I install them.

I will experiment with pulling them out another foot or so.
