Amplifier suggestions for Aerial 7b speakers?


What amplifiers would you recommend pairing with the Aerial Acoustics 7b speakers? Due to their lower sensitivity (86 dB) and nominal impedance (6 ohms), these speakers could probably use more than 250W/ch from an amp. I am planning to use the 7bs for 50% music and 50% home theater. I was thinking of the McIntosh MC402 as a good pairing. Any other suggestions of amps to consider? Any opinions on the MC402?

Thanks.

I've listened to them a number of times in a store that stocks Theta products. They seem to have a good synergy connected to the Dreadnaught II (which I think is 225 wpc?) or the Citadel monoblocks. I also heard them powered by the Parasound JC1 monoblocks (600w each?), which sounded dull and flat (it might have been the room). I dunno about McIntosh.
