Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?

I have some Aerial 7B's and I have been contemplating upgrading to the new 7T.  Does anyone have suggestions as to what amps pair with Aerials the best?  I have heard a lot of people paired the older Aerials with Classe, Bryston, and Theta.  But now with Theta being mostly Class D amps, and Classe having the same path forward, I wonder of that makes a difference...  

On that note, I would love to hear them with the new ATI class D amps, as well as the Levinson 532H amp. (I haven't heard the amps, but people say they have amazing midrange, which is what Love about the Aerials right now).

I have also looked way off into left field and saw a Plinius SB-301 MkII for sale here as of late...

Anyway, my questions stands.  What amps pair the best with Aerial Acoustics?

The best I've heard is a friends SMC upgraded McCormack with his 7b. Not sure which model. I also like mine with Odyssey and Belles

Had the Classe Twenty Five with the Aerial 8. Great combo

I would go w/a Bryston SST2 w/7B's. You can save some money from the new 4B Cubed. The combo balances out very well.

I use Sunfire 300 with my 10t's

I wish I could 'intercept' great deals on Sunfire 600 which I believe is a true undisputed heavy weight world champion that can still take down ones priced up to 10 times higher.

I also concur to suggestions of using SMC products. DNA250 comes into mind, but it can be more budget oriented model such as 125..
