Which amp to complement my 1056, krell. mcintosh,rptel,classe etc. listen to music more than dvd's more XM than cd's. Does it matter in 2 channel will run through B&W 603 and 602.5 what do you think will get my attention?

Your speakers are only rated to 150W and 120 W respectively. I am assuming you have 5 speakers?

I think Krell and Mc and Classe are overkill unless you will be upgrading your speakers. I'd recommend a Rotel RMB-1075.

Rotel RMB-1095 will wake your current & any future speakers up very nicely!

As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as too much power when driving speakers! :B

:agree:
Unless you plan on upgrading your speakers, Rotel is a great choice. While, you'd probably not regret a better amp, you'd not take full advantage of it from those speakers (no offense, they are nice, just not at the Krell or Classe level). Even if you upgraded to the 700 series or maybe even an 804 based speaker set, you'd still get pretty good performance from the Rotel.

Ditto. I have a set of the 602's in a spare room powered by a 1070 amp and preamp. Great combo, If I were to go to a Mac or Krell I would move up to the 800 series, for sure. With that Rotel and your B&W combo, you'll hear everything and anything that source material had on it, no problem. The RB1080 would be a good choice.
