Big VTLs might work; I heard them with Jadis JA500s running in ultralinear mode(close to 450 watts) and they were good but I felt the speaker could use even more.
I am currently using a Forsell "The Statement" amplifier with excellent sounding results. The Forsell is also a very good looking match for our MBL 101D. If you have the opportunty I urge you to look into this combination!
