Recommend me a warm sounding 5 channel power amp


hi, i recently purchased a pair of monitor audio floorstanding speakers that i mated to a marantz 7007 receiver (used as a preamp in this scenario) and a rotel rmb 1095 power amplifier.
Anyhow, today i wanted to experiment to see how the speakers sounded when connected to the marantz unit and i actually liked the sound better that i heard from the marantz when compared to the rotel power amp. I find it more laid back and THAT is exactly why i am starting this thread. I want to purchase another amplifier and so far i have narrowed it down to the nad M25 or the parasound halo a52.
i would like everyone's recommendation on a warm sounding 5 channel power amp under $1500...
I have also thought about ATI, LEXICON,B&K COMPONENTS, but i dont have first hand experience with these...
Anyhow, let me hear any recommendations you might have :)

thank you

How about Bill Bakers new Line of products Class D hybrids with Tube Stage. Here is the link: http://www.responseaudiony.com/Ibrido.htm

Bill also produces the Purity Audio line which we have aqquired. I would say his build quality sound and customer service is pretty hard to beat in this industry. The Class D Hybrid should give you a good cinematic impact together with a warmer presentation of the tubes. These amps are fully upgradable and he can modify and upgrade caps or anything you need.
