Help me choose a receiver,Rotel1550, Arcam 400 or

Marantz 7005, I have center b&w speaker htm2, also will upgrade from my 602's to 805s, present reciever is Marantz 5004, sub is paradigm seismic 110 (love my sub for now) am I in the right track? I was told that Rotel works well with b&w speakers.
Any input would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Rotel and BW is a great match...owned Rotel for years here.

I run Rotel sperates in my living room...I do have a dedicated HT/Audio room with more expensive gear but Rotel was my main gear years ago. The seperate Rotel amp I run is 60w per channel and its plenty so you should be fine too. I never once thought it wasnt powerful enough.

Amp power means NOTHING till its doubled...class A~B is better smoother sounding than D (as noted by those power tweaks) stick with 50...power wont be noticed at a 10w increase but its harsher sound will be.
