Best Amp for Energy Veritas ? Help please


I have a pair of Veritas 2.4 for L/R front channel, Energy 2.0C for center and veritas 2.1 book shelf for l/r rear. The pre-amp is the TA-9000Es. The setup is for Home theater used. For listening to music, I plan to use the Parasound Halo A23. What is the Best 5.1 Multichannel Amp can I get to match the current setup? I was leaning towards the used Bryston 9B THX, the used Classe CAV 150, and the B&K Reference 200.5. What is your recommendation besides those mention above. I only have a budget of about 2.5K.

What do you think about ADCOM 7500, Parasound 1205, ATI 1506 or Aragon 2005?

Thanks

I would definately look into a (used) McIntosh MC7205. Sound is the best I have heard from 5 channel (compared to Proceed AMP5, CAV150, and Marantz something). It is THX certified, has loads of protection, and a liquid warm sound that won me over. The Mc was the only one that caused goose bumps. When I go HT, this will be my amp for sure. Have not heard new Parasounds but the old ones were only so-so IMO. Mc will work great with Energy. The audition was on B&W N802, McIntosh MX132, Proceed DVD. Arthur
