Hi Chris,
Well that's a tough list. I haven't listened to the Promitheus through any D class amplifiers.I have heard the Promitheus through Marsh,Classe,Audire and Audio Sector. The Audio Sector wouldn't be powerful enough for your speakers I don't think.
The Marsh could be a good fit. You need an amplifier that doesn't take more than 1 volt to full output. Say .75 volt input sensitivity or lower would be a good starting point.Since you use vinyl this will also depend on the output of your phono preamp. There are many variables in making a good match. It's not an exact science either. I've heard amplifiers that were suppose to be fairly sensitive that really weren't.
A Music Reference RM9 comes to mind. It's tubes though but very sensitive and powerful. These make great matches with a TVC.
What is your price range?
