the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's

I have a pair of infinity rs 1b's and am running them with a pair of bryston 4b-st's. I have a nakamichi dragon 3 piece cd setup with a nakamichi CA7A pre-amp to the brystons. I have 2 pairs of mit MH-750 CVTerminator II cables to the speakers. I am looking at a pair of Bryston 7b's at 500/ch at 8ohms, 800/ch at 4ohms. Classe Ca-400 400/ch at 8ohms, 800/ch at 4ohms. Mcintosh mc2500 500/ch at 8ohms. Perreaux 5150b at 500/ch 8ohms. I like rock,jazz country and classical. All the amps are for sale in my area and I am wondering which would give me the best punch and sound for the type of music i listen to.

Thanks for the help

Hello
I am very happy with the amp. I took the front face plate and handles off and had it plated a copper black and then epoxyed clear coated. I changed the power Led to an intence liquid red. I have a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 5's vac tube amps that I had solar copper 5/8 thick glass face plates made up with beveled edges and the CJ logo engraved in the glass in the same font as factory. Now I can see the warm glow of the tubes. The three pieces look awsome now.

I am now tring to decide on what cable to use my RS 1bs, I have Mit MH-750CVT series II and Monster M1.5's. I am looking at PS Audio 12' lab cables or thier 12' Statement cables or may be Mit tube cables, so I am putting up a thread asking about cables

Thanks for your help guys

I purchased a Pereaux 5150b, and suposibly in shipping it was damaged. I hooked every thing up and just got a buzz niose from the speakers. If I turn the pre-amp up to just about full volume the buzz would stay the same but I could just hear the music, maybe only a couple of watts of out put. So I have taken it to a shop and hope they can find the problem. I will let you guys know how things turn out.

Hello again

I finally got my perreaux 5150b back and hooked it up to the woo+ffers of my RS-1b's and I sware you can hear the vioce of GOD! threw them. The system has such a massive amount if impact it makes you laugh. Good live recorded CD's at even moderate sound levels have the same punch that you feel against your body at a rock concert. The sound is so tight and accurat on jazz and country music it's just amazing.
The guys that fixed my amp made a joke and said "OH your the guy that owns the welder" they were taken by it huge power supply, the technition said it hase endless power.

So I am going to play with it for a while and enjoy the beast. I had a second power outlet with a 20 amp breaker allready in the wall for just for my brystons so I sould have plenty for this amp.

Thanks for all your help,
Darin


I took the lid off and was inpressed about how have the amp was biult. It has 24 Hatatchi transistors and a massive transformer that weighs about 40lbs by it's self. It has 8 caps that measure about 6" tall and 3" in diamitor. Its just impressive
