What amp do you have your B&K Ref 30 paired with?

I was going to buy my amp first and then my SSP, but I scored a major deal (!!!) on a Ref 30 that I couldn't pass up.
I've looked at:
B&K Ref 3220 (great bang for the buck; rolled off top end?)
Sunfire Cinema Grand (for some reason I don't want to like it)
Parasound 2205 (good price, but thin in the uppers?)
Anthem (thin throughout)
Adcom (shrill)
Rotel (didn't move me)
I haven't auditioned the Bryston, Classe or Proceed (these are really pushing my budget).
Thoughts?

I'm using an ATI 1505 for the center and 4 surrounds and a ATI 1504 bridged to my Maggie 1.6's. I really like the ATI although they are a little bright for the maggies.

I use at alternate times my Cinepro 3K6, Series III or review amplifiers.
These days, the Ref 30 is only performing DD/DTS duties -- most of my music listening is to SACD and DVD-A, and I have a dedicated 6 channel preamp for this task (EMM Labs Switchman-II).
