Bryston 14 B SST with Martin Logan SL3 speakers?


I'm using a Sim Audio Moon Eclipse CD player, Bryston BP 25 pre-amp, Martin Logan SL3 speakers,Virtual dynamics pc's, HTS 2000 conditioner.
I have been thinking of purchasing a Bryston 14 B SST to tie this system together. The extra power of the 14 B SST would be good to have on hand for more power handling speakers in the future like the B&W N801'S. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience listening to a similar combo and how you would think this would blend together?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for your suggestions, your comments are what I'm looking for to force me to have an open mind about this next important upgrade. I live in Nova Scotia, tring out a wide variety of new gear at home is nearly impossible so I have to rely on other means of evaluating equipment (quess work) which means that I will purchase it used and try it into my system. The Pass Labs gear has always looked to me as very fine gear, The X250 certainly is a beautiful looking piece of gear, one that wouldn't be a problem to stare at sitting between my speakers every day.
Keeping in mind of future upgrades in speakers, ones that may handle much more or less power than my SL3's, would you still suggest the Pass Labs X250 or should I look at the X350 for it's higher power capabilities? What is the sound like with these amps, at low listening levels?
I would appreciate your comments on this.
Thanks
Thanks for all your sugestions and comments folks on the amplifier recommendations. At the end of the day, I'd really like to have an amp that would do justice to most types of music through most types of high end speakers but I think that may be asking just a little bit too much don't you think?
