CJ SA250 or Rotel RB990BX?

I am looking for a secondary amp, already have a CJ PV10A and a MF2100 with B&W 965's. I picked up a pair of Paradigm v7's and need some opinions on which of these two amps would maximize my $$ and my music. I listen to a lot of "challenging music", avant garde elctronic and art/music pieces, so I need a quality unit to push the sound. Opinions, options, ideas are welcome and appreciated.

They're both good amps. I'd actually lean to Arni's side on this one, since the SA250 is a bit sweeter in the highs. Then again, the SA250 doesn't have anywhere near the overall grip that the 990 does. If you can, Kurtisk had a great suggestion--buy both and see which one you like more. You can almost certainly sell the one you don't keep for what you'd buy it for...

Best,

Bob
