Need some juice --- High power amps

I am looking for a high power amplifier to drive my 87db / 4 ohm speakers. I am interested in any real experience in comparing the following solid state amplifiers:

o Edge NL-12
o conrad johnson Premier 350
o Pass X-250.5
o Ayre V-1xe
o McCormack DNA-500

I understand the price differential, what I am most interested in is the musicality of the five amps as well as any other amps that should be considered in this company.

FYI, an Audio Aero Capitole Mk II SE will be feeding the amplifier directly.

Thanks for your help and time.....

Hi Crozbo - allow me to submit this discussion on the Clayton Audio line of amps for your perusal:

I think most Clayton owners would support this summary of their amps.
And, this publication's issue also compares the McCormack DNA-500 and the Clayton S2000 to some degree here:

Sorry about not knowing how to provide these as direct links.
Good luck in your search.
Cheers,
