What amplifier do you use for your Dahlquist DQ10s

I have an Adcom GFA555 currently but am looking to upgrade to a better sounding amplifier. I've been considering Aragon 4004/8008 (Mondial not Klipsch manufactured), Counterpoint SA20 or SA220 (but have heard a lot about reliability issues with Counterpoint), but I'm looking for other ideas. I like the Rogue Audio m150/180 mono blocked but don't want to spend that much. I am using a Rogue Audio Perseus preamp that I would like to keep in my system. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

My first instinct is a Muse One Hundred Sixty, this would be phenominal on DQ-10's...
My second thought would be a McCormack DNA .5 or DNA-1...
Third I think of a Sumo Andromeda II...
Fourth Hafler Transnova 9500
and Lastly Musical Fidelity A3CR Power Amp...
These amps are all capable, will all sound good with the Dahlquist and will run from $500 to $1000.
It is normally thought that these speakers need a lot of power, in reality, they need an amp capable of current (which comes with power)...
