First Watt F3 or Red Wine Audio 30.2


Hello,
I'm looking for a new amp. Everything seems to point me in the direction of the First Watt F3 or the Red Wine Audio 30.2.
I have Devore Super Gibbon 8's in a small-medium sized room. I listen to mostly rock/metal, electronic, funk and jazz. I'm more interested in (real world) bass groove, and percussion/drums than female vocals. Above all I want all my cd's to be listenable, not just the well recorded ones.
Thanks,
Glen.

rock needs bigtime muscle in an amp, even with effecient speakers...not necc mega-watt, but devores won't mind something bigger than fleawatts and won't lose any rich sound either.
some ideas....all are superb and somewhat powerful (not sure what pre you're using). (tubes)music reference. quicksilver, dynaco, rogue, moscode(it gets pricey) mac (even more pricey)......(ss) mccormack dna, ayre, bel canto......I've heard the devore with naim ss as well, and it was awfully good.
