Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please

I'm a 7.2 owner who looking for a really good amp to match with my speakers. My actual ss monoblocks rated at 250 watts(doubling on 4, 2,1 ohm) Class A probably are not enough: my feeling is that 7.2's eats power like no other speaker except Apogees ! Welcome to any suggestion, specially from 7.2 owners. Thanks.

Yeah, what does Thiel know anyway? They use Krell but I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Good idea: stick with the Pass. The Krell would sound better, a lot better, but yeah, stick with the Pass.

I've ben auditioning a ton of McIntosh gear lately, and I have to urge anyone looking at the big Thiels to try the MC 501 monoblocks. They can put out massive amounts of juice into any load, and are a good balance in the spectrum of warm/detailed. They are also half the price of the big Pass. Of course YMMV.
