Aerial Acoustics 7B and Best Amplifier Pairing


What would be the best amplifier pairing for the Aerial Acoustics 7B? I am considering Pass Labs as well as McIntosh.

Well.
Are you going to use them for movie watching or listening to music?
What are other components do you have or plan to have in this setup?
I had a pair set up to listen to music. Drove them with Threshold T200 amp (Nelson Pass design solid state 100 watts class A). I basically liked the way it drove these speakers but I always felt like they really needed alot more power to really sing.
My 2 cents.

They will be used 50/50 HT and audio. They are paired with the other Aerials, SW12 sub, SR3 surrounds, and CC3. Denon DVD2900 is used as the CD player and the Denon AVR 5803 is being used as the processor. Running with Signal cables.
Hmmmmm, Denon with Pass labs sounds like a miss match to me. I use a Theta Dreadnaught to drive my LR-5's, CC-5 and SR-3's I think you'd be real happy with the Dread I or II.
I've used a Sunfire Cinema Grand to great effect driving 7Bs, CC3 & SR3s. I am a big fan of the Pass Labs amps, and think they could be a match. Could be a too warm combo for some. To my ears, the Macs I've heard are not in the same league as either Pass or Sunfire.
Haven't heard the Bryston w/these speakers, but could be a good match because if anything, the Aerial is a bit on the warm side, where the Bryston amps generally lean a tad to the analytical, dry side. They could work well together.
