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.....

Add the Aragon 8008BB to yor list of affordable powerhouses.I have 2 systems.System 2 has seen many well regarded and very expensive amps come and go.The Aragon has stayed in my other system for 4 years without a thought of replacing it(except maybe for Palladium Monos).
