Amp Selection Assistance Needed

I am looking for a ~200 WPC two channel amplifier to upgrade the two channel performance of my HT system. The speakers are B&W N204s, Arcam FMJ 23T CD player, Rotel preamp (2 channel pass-through).

I have been considering McCormack DNA 225/DNA 1, Classe 200/201, Bryston 4BST/SST. While I will perform my own auditioning, I would appreciate your comments on your experiences with, and the merits of the amps mentioned above.

Thanks,

Pete

I have the N804s as well and they are terrific with the Belles 350A.
I have them now as my side channels for HT and use an older Belles design from Magnum Dynalabs called the OCM 200.
The OCM 200 is bridged to produce 400 watts and sound great with the N804s... better than the stereo OCM 800 to my ears but not as nice as the 350A ... when you use bridged 350A monblocks ... WOW!

More power makes a difference.
