Multi-Channle Amp Dilemma

I am trying to decide between the following amplifiers for my HT set-up: Theta Dreadnaught II, Pass X150 (front r&l) and an X3 for rears and center, Bat 6200 and a Classe CAV-180. I use a Krell 7.1 for my processor and have B&W N803's for the fronts, the HTM2 center and N805s for the rears. I recently sold my Bryston 9B because I did not think it brought out the best in my speakers. I would like to make the best choice, so that I can sit back and enjoy the music and movies. By the way, I use the system 70% for HT and 30% for 2 channel.

As always, your thoughts are very much appreciated.

I'm in a very similar similar situation with A Krell 7.1 with KAV series amps & B&W Nautilus speakers. Overall very happy with the sound, but the top end tends to be dry & analytical (not bright). I have been told the Krell TAS is more transparent than the KAV series with a better balanced high-end.

I plan on looking at the Theta and Classe as well as the Cary Cinema 5 (no info. out there). I would be nice to hear what you decide on.
