Dunlavy Cantatas What Power Amp?

Upgrading from Adcom 555II. I'm using a complete Dunlavy set up for HT but mostly listen to music. For the best music I'm considering a nice 2ch amp and a matching 3ch amp for center and surrounds vs a 5 ch for all. Thoughts on this? The Adcom makes the Cantatas a little harsh and the bass is not very authoritative. Considering McCormack, Bryston, Classe/Krell (maybe too expensive) others?

They used Aloia with their bigger speakers. They had the Cantatas and the Alethas in a differet room and were using two sets of amplification: Rowland and some stuff builts a friend of John Dunlavy, Paris somebody, who was there helping out with the room. (This was the case when I visited but could have different at other times during the show.) I preferred the Cantatas with this guy's amps, which are not commercially available.

Buy a used ML331/332/333 and you will very, very pleased. Lots of bass control and not harsh. Outstanding combination
