Need a power amp for a pair of ATC SCM 11's

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but have been lurking a good while and finally I'm in need of some sage advice!
I'm in the process of purchasing a pair of ATC SCM 11's and I can't figure out what the best power amp would be.
The preamp is an RME ADI 2 DAC, which I love and is so customisable, so I'm kinda commited on that front.

I've seen recommendations here before for the Quad 909, there's a few of them on ebay at decent prices.
Another amp I've seen recommended is the  Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 mkII. 

Should I push the boat and spend the extra on the Wyred 4 Sound, or find a nice bargain on the Quad 909?

Any other recommendations or advice is extremely welcome!

Thanks a lot :-)

Presumably, you're looking for something good and reasonably priced.I have not listened to the new Quads but certainly liked their older models.
Alternatively, how about considering one of ATC's own amps? They are quite good and not very expensive. Another contender would be an integrated from Musical FIdelity. The (top of the line) ones I listened to about 1 yr ago were impressively good for their price.
