Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?

I have been trying to read up as much as i can on both of these amplifier lines but it doesn't seem there are many who have heard them both.  I am currently powering Aerial Acoustics 7B and CC3B speakers ( hopefully upgrading to 7T speakers) and i was wondering what the synergy would be between these two amp lines.  Krell has the Chorus 5200 and 7200 and Levinson has the 535H.  There are also the 532H and 533H -vs- the Krell Duo 300i that can be considered as well.  

My system is primarily for HT with music listening as a secondary priority, but i still want it to blossom when i am just running the towers and enjoying my tunes.  What are your thoughts?  Thanks in advance!!

I have a Proceed HPA2 (Mark Levinson) amp driving Aerial Acoustics 7Bs and I love it. However, I have not compared the combo to much else other than a set of B&W tower speakers driven by the same amp. The 7Bs were way better sounding.

Not sure I would worry about an upgrade if primary use was HT though.

Mark Levinson is a sonic match for Aerial speakers.
