What amp to choose?

I am running Infinity IRS Omega speakers and a 6 channel multiplayer equipped with preamps, by now I only use the 2 channel stereo. This a high quality gear MSRP USD20.000. The amp is a 150Wpc and 1800VA (240V/50Hz.
I run it balanced.The combo does deliver a good soundstage, detailed and I am satisfied with that.
I love my Omega`s,but they need more power and I want to optimize the system with a better amp.
Previously I`ve heard the player with PBN AX amp this is an option, sound is just right, but price new is to high for my budget, and I have to look for used.
I will be grateful if anyone could give me some inputs.

I bought a DNA 500, but have not listen to it.
Recommended combo by Steve himself, he`s probably right.
Long journey for this one, US to AUS to Norway to US for upgrading in a few months to Norway again.
A globalized DNA 500 should do the job then.
I come back with "review".

Consider Aragon, a 4004Mk2, 8008BB etc, or Paladium Mono blocks.

It is many very good amps out there.
I think it is very much about matching to get the system musical.
There is a practical issue to get hands on the different gears for testing.
This time I`ve actually bought an amp that I`ve never listen to, in fact the maufacturer was unknown to me for less than a month ago.
Think it will be a good happening though!
The Odyssey SE gets very good reviews, but for Omega speakers even they could be lacking of W`s.
