SS amp rec's for B&W CDM 7 NT's

Hello all,
Putting together a second system. I am using a pair of B&W CDM 7 NT's. I am looking for a SS amp that mates well with it. I am using a CJ PV-7 preamp. Budget is around $1500. I am thinking older B&K EX-442 or m-200's, classe ca150, belles150/350 ,muse 100/160, parasound, sumo andromeda ii, sonographe sa250 or CJ mf 2200, or mccormack dna-1.
Anyone have any experience with any of these amps and speakers?
Anything that I haven't considered that might be worth a listen?
Thanks

Take a look at the Emotiva power amps. The XPA-1L is especially nice for only $599 and comes with a 5 year warranty and 30 day in-home trial:

250 watts @ 8 ohm (0.1% THD)
500 watts @ 4 ohm (0.1% THD)
35 watts @ 8 ohm; Class A operation
Note: In Class A mode, under normal conditions, the XPA-1L operates in pure Class A mode at all power levels up to 35 watts, above this level it will automatically transition into Class A/B mode.

The XPA-2 is also a reall sweetheart for only $899. The Emo amps have been very well-reviewed and are well-built pieces of kit...
