[admin_exported]

hello all, im thinking of getting one of the two named above and i just wanted to no if either would be ok to work with my kef q5 floor standers, i listen to a various types of music (rock, r n b, rap, dance), would either be able to drive them enough for the music to sound good? i do like a bit of bass, nothing mega but i like to here a bit of a rumble, dont meen to sound like an idiot but im not as well up on this sort of stuff like most of you guys and girls.

Both of those are light on power. I suggest cr725 that's rated 50wpc I believe, which would be ok for Q5s and should be cheaper than dm37 (at least there were deals recently). The Q5s are rated 91db efficiency with recommended power amp 15-150 watts.
