Amp Selection Help

Hey all. I currently have a Marantz SR7009, B&W CM's and a Project RPM Carbon. I am looking to add some much needed umph to my system. I have narrowed my Amp selection to the following (with access to used mint versions of each)

Anthem P2
Bryston 4BST
Mark Levinson ML332

Based on my set up. What are you thoughts

Using a metal tweeter and getting it to sound right are 2 entirely different things.

Ahh the old "B&W bright" angle. An oldie but a goodie that just self perpetuates. Depends on the model ...

It's hard to say what sound you would like. B&W can be bright speakers so to couple that with a brighter amp might be a bad idea. It seems you are using the Marantz as a pre?

Pass 250.8 is much better than these.
