the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's

I have a pair of infinity rs 1b's and am running them with a pair of bryston 4b-st's. I have a nakamichi dragon 3 piece cd setup with a nakamichi CA7A pre-amp to the brystons. I have 2 pairs of mit MH-750 CVTerminator II cables to the speakers. I am looking at a pair of Bryston 7b's at 500/ch at 8ohms, 800/ch at 4ohms. Classe Ca-400 400/ch at 8ohms, 800/ch at 4ohms. Mcintosh mc2500 500/ch at 8ohms. Perreaux 5150b at 500/ch 8ohms. I like rock,jazz country and classical. All the amps are for sale in my area and I am wondering which would give me the best punch and sound for the type of music i listen to.

Thanks for the help

Darinkperih: Glad that things worked out for you. I somehow missed both your original and follow-up posts to this thread. Not only am i glad that you were able to get the Perreaux working again, i'm glad that you were at least initially happy with the results. After having the Perreaux 5150 up and running for almost a year now, i'm wondering what your thoughts are now that you've had a good amount of time with this unit. Is it still shaking the foundation of your building or have you moved onto something else? Sean

P.S. On a follow-up to my original post dated 10/25/03 my original 3150B WAS not working as properly as I expected. I tried to eleminate the hum but could not. However, I was fortunate to find another on (here as a matter of fact) that runs and is running beautifully. I keep an eye out for the 5150B however!!

Hello
I am very happy with the amp. I took the front face plate and handles off and had it plated a copper black and then epoxyed clear coated. I changed the power Led to an intence liquid red. I have a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 5's vac tube amps that I had solar copper 5/8 thick glass face plates made up with beveled edges and the CJ logo engraved in the glass in the same font as factory. Now I can see the warm glow of the tubes. The three pieces look awsome now.

I am now tring to decide on what cable to use my RS 1bs, I have Mit MH-750CVT series II and Monster M1.5's. I am looking at PS Audio 12' lab cables or thier 12' Statement cables or may be Mit tube cables, so I am putting up a thread asking about cables

Thanks for your help guys

Darin: Sounds like you've not only got a very nice sounding system, but one that is also quite eye-catching too. I'll keep an eye out for your next thread as i'll be interested to see where you go with cables. Sean
