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

The better Class D amps can work well on the bottom. Just food for thought...

Bill Watkins Sr, inventor of the Infinity Watkins Dual-Drive woofer (the predecessor to the Infinity woofer used in the IRS Beta) once told me he preferred Threshold amps with the big Infinities.

Hi Day,

Ran across this when looking through the amps-for-sale section:

http://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-coda-csx-stereo-power-amplifier-1047-2017-01-16-amplifiers-80020-broomfield-co

The Coda guys are ex-Threshold. Their amps have a very good reputation. A very powerful amp that doubles down. Worth consideration.

No affiliation of course.
