Classe CA-M400 or Theta Digital Enterprise?


I am looking to replace my MBL 8011s amplifier. It's a rather musical sounding amp but in my system I am looking for something a bit more dynamic. I don't want an amp that is analytical but at the same time I feel as though the system as a whole is "holding back" a bit. I am considering either the new Classe monoblocks or the TD monoblocks as possibilties.

As a point of reference, the rest of my system consists of Jeff Rowland Coherence II/Cadence phono, Exemplar/Denon 2900, Teres Audio 265 table. Cabling is all liquid ceramic cables from Cerious Technologies. Speakers are a new design from Bob Grost, formerly of Unity Audio. It is a 4 piece system called the Cerious Ceramic Reference and is more or less a replacement to the Unity Audio PARM system.

Michael Fremer gave the Enterprise amps a rather mixed review skewed in the negative direction but other than that I haven't found any reviews. The Classe amps seem to be too new to have any published reviews.

Are there any A-goners out there that have heard these amps and care to characterize them? Any other suggestions?

Check out the Classe Delta 2200 review at Soundstage.
The M400 is very similiar sounding from what I've read on a thread.
