While the NAD and Marantz are pretty good amplifiers, my choice would be the Rotel.

The Music Hall 15.3 would actually be my first choice, however.

Thank you for the reply

Is it for any particular reasons you'd go with the Rotel and/or Music Hall?

Do they tend to be more transparent?

I did also check and consider the Music Hall, as it seems to be favored by some, and it's at the same price point..

However when reading the manual I did not find any absolute frequency response readings.. (only the THD test readin of 20hz-20khz..) so i did not know what to think of it

B&W speakers are made by the same parent company which owns Rotel & Classe.
The components are likely 'voiced' or matched to each other.
Whether or not you like the B&W - Rotel - Classe 'house sound' is up to you.
