Why keep looking at pro amps ? Why do you even need an amp ? Your Pioneer will power the 7's fine and if I was in your shoes, I'd be spending the coin on ugrading that subwoofer. That will give you the biggest improvement in sound per dollar at this point.HT SYSTEM-

The SC55 should have plenty for them. If you want to look at an amp look at audiophile or home audio not Pro Audio.
Look for Names like: B&K, Parasound, Adcom, Rotel and NAD
DO NOT LOOK FOR: Crown, Nady, Behringer or Samson. -
There are starting to be very good alternatives to pro amps if you want that level of power at that price. Many of the new class D amps have great SQ, good power, and are very reasonably priced; plus, no fan!

While any speaker can benefit from a good power source, keep in mind the A7's are 8 ohm speakers which don't require alot of juice to sound good. Since your already bi-amping them off the receiver no less, adding an amp won't give you that wow factor I think your looking for. Money better spent on a subwoofer my friend, will give you more of that wow factor your looking for. Or....could be time to go speaker shopping, how much fun would that be ?HT SYSTEM-
