Need Amp Recommendation

I'm auditioning Rockport Miras which I like, but the upperbass/lower midrange could use some weight. I'm driving them with Theta Citadels, but for fun I grabbed a VTL ST-250 from another system and tried it. It provided the midrange weight I seeked, but it suffered in other ways (highs a little closed in, bass not as tight).

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a SS amp with great midrange, or a tubed amp that would do better than the VTL ST-150.

Thanks.

I've owned VTL gear, & respect their products, but if you're not using tube-friendly speakers, like Merlins perhaps, you're gonna go broke, or crazy, trying to use a tube power amp with speakers that are power hungry.

I could suggest used C-J SS amps, like the MF2500A (which has plenty of power, and is very "musical"), but I don't know those speakers.
