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 am driving my with a Coda Continum 200 watt amp. They make the same amp under the Legacy brand. Works fine. Great amp for the price. I got mine used for $750. The BEST match I have heard is the Meridian 557.
Yes, I agree with Talon4. IF given the choice I would prefer the Meridian 559 over the 557. It is just more $$$.
