The best $1500-2500 amp to run with Aerial LR5's

Where to start, I am using a Proceed bpa3 with the LR5's and they sound good but its only 125 watts and Aerials need juice.
The amp is only average and I am hoping for some help in picking out a amp to really set of the Aerials.

My system:
Aerial LR5 main
Aerial CC3 Center
B&W's Surround
Proceed BPA 3 fronts and center
Rotel RB985 for surrounds ( 3 Unused channels)
Arcam 92T CD
B&K Ref 50 Processor
Pioneer Elite DVD
MIT shotgun s3 Speaker cables
Various MIT interconnects
63" Philips Plasma

Music: Dave Matthews, ColdPlay, U2, Bruce, Pat Methany, Etc.. Sports in HD,

Thanks all you fellow audiophiles, I appreciate the suggestions.

Is there anyone else who can make recommendations before I consider this next upgrade. Thanks

The Aerials are very open, very detailed with incredible mids and highs. I would classify them as very dynamic with an overall neutral sound. Imaging is open and the sound stage is large. Overall i think the Aerials are an outstanding speaker system. The bass is very tight but not so deep. I use a Velodyne spl 12 as a enhancement to the low end. But I will say that in 2 channel I don't the sub woofer, but i do use it in home theater applications.
