Bat VK-250 or Parasound JC-1 monos?

So I'm finally down to picking an amp for my system, which consists of a Sony SCD-1, MMF-7 TT, Aesthetix Janus, and Totem Forests, and I'm leaning towards the Bat VK-250 with Batpak upgrade. I heard the Janus with this amp and a Cary 303/300, and it was awefully pleasing. The only other SS amps I can come up in the same price range (sub 6,000) that I've heard and think would mate well are the parasound JC-1 monos, but I haven't heard them with my gear and wouldn't be able to before purchasing.

I'm curious if anyone has heard the forests or aesthetix (both would be great!) with either the Bat VK-250 or the Parasound JC-1 monos, and what your thoughts are? Which do you think will match better? What other amps rated over 150wpc into 8 ohms are you forest owners using or would you recommend?

FWIW I listen to everything, but concentrate on Jazz (hard-bop mostly) Indie rock, folk (old and new), and soul.

Thanks!
